Court of Appeals of North Carolina
Bank of North Carolina, N. A. v. Barry, 14 N.C. App. 169 (1972)
187 S.E.2d 478; 1972 N.C. App. LEXIS 2073
Mallard, Morris, Parker

Bank of North Carolina, N. A. v. Barry

Opinion of the Court

MORRIS, Judge.

The record on appeal was not docketed within the time allowed by Rule 5, Rules of Practice in the Court of Appeals of North Carolina, and the record contains no order extending the time for docketing. For failure to docket the record on appeal within the time allowed by the rules of this Court, the appeal may be dismissed. Rule 5, Rules of Practice in the Court of Appeals of North Carolina.

The only assignments of error are to the charge of the court. However, no exception is noted in the record. Assignments of error to the charge based upon exceptions appearing nowhere in the record but under the assignments of error are ineffective. State v. Dunn, 264 N.C. 391, 141 S.E. 2d 630 (1965); Rule 21, Rules of Practice in the Court of Appeals of North Carolina; 1 Strong, N.C. Index 2d, Appeal and Error, § 31, p. 166. Nevertheless, we have carefully reviewed the charge to the jury as contained in the record, and find no prejudicial error. Defendants’ contention that the court expressed an opinion as to whether a fact was fully or sufficiently proven in violation of G.S. 1A-1, Rule 51(a) is without merit.

No error.

Chief Judge Mallard and Judge Parker concur.
