David B. Sample, of Fort Mill, for Appellant.

Attorney General Alan Wilson, Chief Deputy Attorney General John W. McIntosh, Assistant Deputy Attorney General Salley W. Elliott, and Assistant Attorney General William M. Blitch, Jr., all of Columbia; and Solicitor Kevin S. Brackett, of York, for Respondent.

PER CURIAM:  Brian Keith Kelly appeals his conviction of obtaining signature or property under false pretenses, arguing the trial court erred in admitting evidence of prior bad acts.  We affirm[1] pursuant to Rule 220(b)(1), SCACR, and the following authority:  State v.

(citation and internal quotation marks omitted)).

AFFIRMED.

WILLIAMS, THOMAS, and LOCKEMY, JJ., concur.

[1] We decide this case without oral argument pursuant to Rule 215, SCACR.
