DLJ Mortgage Capital, Inc., Respondent, v. Boyd J. Jones, Appellant. Boyd J. Jones, Cross-Plaintiff, v. Select Portfolio Servicing, Inc. and Credit Suisse First Boston Mortgage Capital, LLC, Cross-Defendants. Appeal From Richland County Alison Renee Lee, Circuit Court Judge Unpublished Opinion No. 2010-UP-234 Submitted March 1, 2010 – Filed April 8, 2010 AFFIRMED Boyd J. Jones, pro se, of Columbia, for Appellant. Stephen C. Lenker, Jr., of Columbia, for Respondent. PER CURIAM: Boyd J. Jones appeals the trial court's 2007 order enforcing his settlement agreement with DLJ Mortgage Capital, Inc. (DLJ). Boyd argues the 2007 enforcement order was improper because it substantially changed a 2005 order enforcing the same settlement agreement. We affirm[1] pursuant to Rule 220(b)(1), SCACR, and the following authorities: Rule 43(k), SCRCP (providing a settlement agreement is binding if made in open court and noted upon the record); Rock Smith Chevrolet, Inc. v. Smith, 309 S.C. 91, 93, 419 S.E.2d 841, 842 (Ct. App. 1992) (finding the circuit court has the inherent authority to enforce or refuse to enforce a settlement agreement entered into before it). AFFIRMED. SHORT, WILLIAMS, and LOCKEMY, JJ., concur. [1] We decide this case without oral argument pursuant to Rule 215, SCACR.
