We affirm pursuant to Rule 220(b), SCACR, and the following authorities: As to res judicata: Martin v. Paradise Cove Marina, Inc., 348 S.C. 379, 386, 559 S.E.2d 348, 352 (Ct. App. 2001) (stating that res judicata bars later actions by the same parties when the claims arise from the same action which has already been adjudicated in a prior suit and the subject matter is the same). As to subject matter jurisdiction and standing: Martin, 348 S.C. at 384, 559 S.E.2d at 351 (stating subject matter jurisdiction is a matter of law for the court); Bardoon Properties, NV, v. Eidolon Corp., 326 S.C. 166, 170, 485 S.E.2d 371, 373 (1997) (stating that the question of real party in interest does not involve subject matter jurisdiction); id. (stating that the failure to raise the issue of the real party in interest results in waiver). AFFIRMED. HUFF, GEATHERS, and LOCKEMY, JJ., concur.
