Tammy FLORENTZ as Guardian ad Litem for Timothy P. Rhodes and Tammy Florentz, Plaintiffs, v. Jesse GORE, Defendant.
For the reasons set out in Long and Florek, I would hold that no risk of inconsistent verdicts exists and that Ms. Florentz has failed to demonstrate the existence of a substantial right that she would lose in the absence of an immediate appeal. As noted in Florek, I believe that dismissal of the appeal is “in accordance with the procedural rules which are designed to promote[ ] judicial economy by avoiding fragmentary, premature and unnecessary appeals and permit[ ] the trial court to fully and finally adjudicate all the claims among the parties before the case is presented to the appellate court.” 129 N.C.App. at 836, 501 S.E .2d at 109 (internal quotation marks omitted).
