STATE v. RYAN (2019)

Supreme Court of North Carolina.

STATE of North Carolina v. Michael Patrick RYAN

No. 366A10

Decided: September 27, 2019

Joshua H. Stein, Attorney General, by Mary Carla Babb, Assistant Attorney General, for the State. William F.W. Massengale and Marilyn G. Ozer, Chapel Hill, for defendant-appellee.

Justice ERVIN took no part in the consideration or decision of this case. The remaining members of the Court are equally divided, with three members voting to affirm and three members voting to reverse the decision of the Superior Court, Gaston County. Accordingly, the decision of the Superior Court, Gaston County is left undisturbed and stands without precedential value. See State v. Woodruff, 307 N.C. 264, 297 S.E.2d 382 (1982).

AFFIRMED.

PER CURIAM.
