IN RE: J.F. (2019)

Juvenile failed to preserve his sole issue on appeal and asks that we invoke Rule 2 to suspend our Rules of Appellate Procedure and consider the merits of his argument. “As our Supreme Court has instructed, we must be cautious in our use of Rule 2 not only because it is an extraordinary remedy intended solely to prevent manifest injustice, but also because ‘inconsistent application’ of Rule 2 itself leads to injustice when some similarly situated litigants are permitted to benefit from it but others are not.” State v. Bishop, ––– N.C. App. ––––, ––––, 805 S.E.2d 367, 370 (2017), disc. review denied, 370 N.C. 695, 811 S.E.2d 159 (2018). Here, Juvenile failed to demonstrate extraordinary circumstances that warrant our hearing his appeal. After careful and thorough review, and in exercising our discretion under the Rules of Appellate Procedure, we decline to invoke Rule 2 in order to reach Juvenile's argument on appeal.

DISMISSED.

Report per Rule 30(e).

MURPHY, Judge.

Judges BERGER and COLLINS concur.
