HAMLET LLC v. HERNANDEZ (2019)

Supreme Court of North Carolina.

HAMLET H.M.A., LLC d/b/a Sandhills Regional Medical Center v. Pedro HERNANDEZ, M.D.

No. 425A18

Decided: December 06, 2019

Freeman & Freeman, LLC, by William S. F. Freeman, for plaintiff. Law Office of Mark L. Hayes, by Mark L. Hayes, for defendant. Linwood Jones, Raleigh, for N.C. Healthcare Association, amicus curiae. Josh Stein, Attorney General, by Ryan Y. Park, Deputy Solicitor General; K. D. Sturgis and Daniel Paul Mosteller, Special Deputy Attorneys General; and Laura H. McHenry, Assistant Attorney General; for State of North Carolina, amicus curiae. Winslow Wetsch, PLLC, Raleigh, by Laura J. Wetsch; and Higgins Benjamin, by Jonathan Wall, Greensboro; for NC Advocates for Justice, amicus curiae.

Justice DAVIS did not participate 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 Court of Appeals. Accordingly, the decision of the Court of Appeals is left undisturbed and stands without precedential value. See Piro v. McKeever, 369 N.C. 291, 291, 794 S.E.2d 501, 501 (2016) (per curiam) (affirming a Court of Appeals opinion without precedential value by an equally divided vote).

AFFIRMED.

PER CURIAM.
