PER CURIAM: Sula Adams appeals the circuit court's dismissal of her complaint pursuant to the statute of limitations. On appeal, Adams argues the circuit court erred by refusing to equitably toll the statute of limitations. We affirm.

We hold the circuit court did not err by refusing to equitably toll the statute of limitations because Adams failed to show she was prevented from timely filing suit by an event beyond her control. See Rydde v. Morris, 381 S.C. 643, 646, 675 S.E.2d 431, 433 (2009) ("On appeal from the dismissal of a case pursuant to Rule 12(b)(6), [SCRCP,] an appellate court applies the same standard of review as the [circuit] court."); id. ("That standard requires the [appellate c]ourt to construe the complaint in a light most favorable to the nonmovant and determine if the 'facts alleged and the inferences reasonably deducible from the pleadings would entitle the plaintiff to relief on any theory of the case.'" (quoting Williams v. Condon, 347 S.C. 227, 233, 553 S.E.2d 496, 499 (Ct. App. 2001))); Hooper v. Ebenezer Senior Servs. & Rehab. Ctr., 386 S.C. 108, 115, 687 S.E.2d 29, 32 (2009) ("The party claiming the statute of limitations should be tolled bears the burden of establishing sufficient facts to justify its use."); id. at 116, 687 S.E.2d at 32 ("It has been observed that '[e]quitable tolling typically applies in cases where a litigant was prevented from filing suit because of an extraordinary event beyond his or her control.'" (alteration in original) (quoting Ocana v. Am. Furniture Co., 91 P.3d 58, 66 (2004))); id. at 117, 687 S.E.2d at 33 ("[E]quitable tolling is a doctrine that should be used sparingly and only when the interests of justice compel its use.").

AFFIRMED. 1 KONDUROS and VINSON, JJ., and LOCKEMY, A.J., concur.

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