Today's Supreme Court Orders and Opinions

The NC Supreme Court issued orders and opinions today. Two cases were disposed of on the ground that review was improvidently allowed. In two other cases the Court (without opinion) was evenly divided (meaning the Court of Appeals decisions were affirmed without precedential value). Excluding a judicial censure case, that left 9 cases for decision. Most were per curiam affirmances without opinion. There were four opinions, two criminal, two civil. More on those cases later.
