State v. Gaskins

Supreme Court of North Carolina

Decided March 25, 1953Published

1Opinion of the Court

Pee. Curiam.

In criminal cases a defendant may appeal to tbe Supreme Court only from a conviction or from some judgment that is final in its nature. G.S. 15-180; S. v. Blades, 209 N.C. 56, 182 S.E. 714; S. v. Hiatt, 211 N.C. 116, 189 S.E. 124; S. v. Inman, 224 N.C. 531, 31 S.E. 2d 641. The order denying defendant’s motion to remand is purely interlocutory. It is in no sense final. Appeal therefrom was premature, S. v. Hiatt, supra, and must be dismissed.

Appeal dismissed.
