August 23, 2007. Case below: 182 N.C. App. 759. DISPOSITION OF PETITIONS FOR DISCRETIONARY REVIEW UNDER G.S. 7A-31.
We note, however, in addition to not signing the notice of appeal, respondent-mother has also not signed the petition for writ of certiorari. It cannot be said that she has lost her right of appeal simply for "failure to take timely action" as contemplated by Rule 21(a). See In re A.C., ___ N.C. App. ___, ___, 643 S.E.2d 470, ___ (2007) (finding no basis for review by writ of certiorari under Rule 21(a)(1) where appeal was dismissed for want of a certificate of service accompanying the notice of appeal). Rather, respondent-mother has failed to comply with Rule 3A(a) in showing no indication of participating with her counsel to pursue this appeal.
