Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM.

Justice Brock did not participate in the consideration or decision of this case. The remaining six justices are equally divided as to whether Judge McKinnon erred in denying plaintiffs motion to set aside the notice of dismissal filed 22 September 1977 by William Blue β€œfor the reason that said dismissal was filed without any authority, express or implied, from the plaintiff, or anyone representing the plaintiff.” In accordance with the usual practice and long established rule, this equal division requires that the opinion of the Court of Appeals be affirmed without precedential value. State v. Greene, 298 N.C. 268, 258 S.E. 2d 71 (1979); Townsend v. Railway Co., 296 N.C. 246, 249 S.E. 2d 801 (1978); State v. Johnson, 286 N.C. 331, 210 S.E. 2d 260 (1974).

It is so ordered.

Affirmed.
