1Opinion of the Court

TYSON, Judge.

*747Donna Helms Ledbetter ("Defendant") appeals from judgment entered after she pleaded guilty to driving while impaired. Defendant does not have a statutory right to appeal the issue she raised. Rule 21 of the North Carolina Rules of Appellate Procedure does not set forth the grounds Defendant asserts to issue the requested writ. We decline to suspend the Rules of Appellate Procedure to exercise our jurisdiction under N.C. Gen.Stat. § 1444(e) to issue the writ. We deny Defendant's petition for writ of certiorari and dismiss the appeal.
