v.
Obie STEVENSON and Shirley M. Stevenson.

No. 139A86.

Supreme Court of North Carolina.

July 2, 1986.

Clontz & Clontz by Ralph C. Clontz III, Charlotte, for plaintiff-appellee.

Roger Lee Edwards, Mooresville, for defendant-appellant.

PER CURIAM.

The trial court entered judgment on 23 August 1984, granting defendant's motion for directed verdict made at the close of plaintiff's evidence. A divided panel of the Court of Appeals held that the directed verdict was improvidently granted and ordered a new trial. Defendant Shirley M. Stevenson appealed to this court as a matter of right.

The decision of the Court of Appeals is affirmed.

AFFIRMED.
