This is an action to recover $10,340 paid by plaintiff to defendant on a crop hail insurance policy on the ground that coverage under the policy had been suspended at the time of the loss because defendant breached the “other insurance” clause1 in the policy.

The facts are not in dispute. Plaintiff issued its policy to become effective on 21 May 1978. Thereafter defendant applied for and was issued a second crop hail insurance policy by another insurer to become effective on 8 June 1978 on a portion of the same crop insured by plaintiff. Defendant did not give notice to plaintiff of this second policy. The hail loss occurred on 9 July 1978. Defendant filed proofs of loss with both insurers. In answer to a question on plaintiffs’ proof of loss form defendant asserted *722that he had no other crop hail insurance on the crop in question except that provided by the “Federal Government.” Plaintiff paid defendant $10,340 for his loss. Thereafter plaintiff discovered the second crop hail insurance policy2 and brought this action to recover what it had paid under its policy.

After reviewing the record and briefs, and hearing oral arguments on the questions presented, we conclude that the petition for further review was improvidently granted. Our order granting further review is, therefore, vacated. The decision of the Court of Appeals affirming the judgment of Wake Superior Court remains undisturbed and in full force and effect.

Discretionary review improvidently granted.
