Branson v. York

Branson v. York
Court of Appeals of North Carolina · Decided June 23, 1971 · Mallard, Parker, Vaughn
11 N.C. App. 589; 181 S.E.2d 778; 1971 N.C. App. LEXIS 1590

Branson v. York

Opinion of the Court

PARKER, Judge.

The action of the trial judge in setting aside a verdict in his discretion is not subject to review on appeal in the absence of an abuse of discretion. Goldston v. Chambers, 272 N.C. 53, 157 S.E. 2d 676; City of Randleman v. Hudson, 2 N.C. App. 404, 163 S.E. 2d 77. The record in this case does not disclose an abuse of discretion by the trial judge; hence, the order setting aside the verdict in this case is not subject to review on appeal.

Appeal dismissed.

Chief Judge Mallard and Judge Vaughn concur.
