Summary
dismissing the defendant's appeal of the Court of Appeals decision denying his motion for appropriate relief
Summary of this case from State v. AllenOpinion
No. 525A82
Filed 19 November 1982
ORDER
DEFENDANT has attempted to appeal to this Court from the denial of his motion for appropriate relief by the Court of Appeals, with Becton, J., dissenting. This he cannot do. N.C. Gen. Stat. 15A-1422(f) (Cum. Supp. 1981). Defendant's motion is based upon N.C.G.S. 15A-1415(b)(2) (Cum. Supp. 1981). Nevertheless, the record on appeal before us discloses that defendant was convicted of crime against nature, which is not a lesser included offense of a sexual offense in the first degree. N.C. Gen. Stat. 14-27.4 (1981). Therefore, we arrest judgment. The appeal is dismissed and the case is remanded to the Court of Appeals with direction that it further remand the case to the Superior Court of FORSYTH County for the entry of this order arresting judgment.
BY ORDER OF THE COURT IN CONFERENCE, this 19th day of November, 1982.
