State v. Morris

ERWIN, Judge.

In the preparation of this record on appeal, defense counsel did not make the Notice of Appeal a part of the record. The State failed to raise an issue with reference to the lack of a Notice of Appeal in the record in its brief. Our Clerk of Court was able to have copy of the Notice forwarded to him. Notice of Appeal is required in order to give this Court jurisdiction to hear and decide a case. See Rule 4 of the Rules of Appellate Procedure; G.S. 7A-26; G.S. 15A-1448; Cf. Mason v. Commissioners of Moore, 229 N.C. 626, 51 S.E. 2d 6 (1948); Corporation Com. v. R. R., 185 N.C. 435,…
