Appeal From Greenwood County Thomas L. Hughston, Jr., Judge.
Affirmed.
Lewis E. Chambers, Chappells, Pro Se.
David S. Keller, of Haynsworth, Marion, McKay Guerard, Greenville, for respondents.
Respondents have filed a motion to strike the amended record on appeal and ask that appellant be ordered to file a second amended record on appeal which complies with the Appellate Court Rules. Respondents have also moved for attorneys' fees and costs of two hundred and twenty-five dollars ($225) for having to file this motion. Appellant has filed a return in opposition to respondents' motions.
A review of the initial brief and the amended record on appeal filed by appellant and the initial brief filed by respondent indicates that this appeal is without merit. Accordingly, the order on appeal is affirmed pursuant to Rule 220 (b) (1), SCACR, and the following authorities: Argument I: Moore v. City of Easley, 322 S.C. 455, 472 S.E.2d 626 (1996); Parsons v. Georgetown Steel, 318 S.C. 63, 456 S.E.2d 366 (1995); Grayson v. Carter Rhoad Furniture, 317 S.C. 306, 454 S.E.2d 320 (1995); Ross v. American Red Cross, 298 S.C. 490, 381 S.E.2d 728 (1989); Lark v.

Code Ann. §§ 42-1-540 42-9-10 to -440 (1985 Supp. 1995); Argument III: Williams v. Boyle Constr. Co., 252 S.C. 387, 166 S.E.2d 550 (1969); Brown v. Owen Steel Co., 316 S.C. 278, 450 S.E.2d 57 (Ct.App. 1994); S.C. Code Ann. § 42-15-60 (1985); 25A S.C. Code Ann. Regs. 67-507 (1990); Argument IV: Kiawah Resort Assoc. v. S.C. Tax Comm'n 318 S.C. 502, 458 S.E.2d 542 (1995).
