Floyd Quick, of Bennettsville, pro se Appellant.

Harry Easterling, of Bennettsville, for Respondent.

PER CURIAM:  Floyd Quick appeals the trial court's denial of his request to amend his complaint in a property dispute over an undefined easement.  Quick also claims the trial court erred in granting Wilbur Hunsucker summary judgment.  We affirm pursuant to Rule 220(b)(2), SCACR, and the following authorities:  Issue I:  Rule 15, SCRCP; Crowley v. Spivey, 285 S.C. 397, 329 S.E.2d 774 (Ct. App. 1985) (upholding the trial court's ruling on a motion to amend absent an abuse of discretion and noting evidence of circumstances such as inexcusable delay, surprise to the adverse party, or the like will justify the denial of a motion to amend).  Issue II:  Morrow v. Dyches, 328 S.C. 522, 529, 492 S.E.2d 420, 424 (Ct. App. 1997) (holding the elements required to prove an easement by necessity are unity of title, severance of title, and necessity); Dyer v. Moss, 284 S.C. 208, 325 S.E.2d 69 (Ct. App. 1985) (stating when a plaintiff is faced with a defendant's motion for summary judgment that is supported by evidence, the plaintiff cannot defeat the motion by relying upon the mere allegations of his complaint, but must disclose the facts he intends to rely on by affidavit or other proof.).    

AFFIRMED.[1]

GOOLSBY, BEATTY, and SHORT, JJ., concur.
