ON defendant Veasey's petition for discretionary review pursuant N.C.G.S. 7A-31 of the decision of the Court of Appeals, N.C. App. 717, 379 S.E.2d 98 (1989), reversing a judgment notwithstanding the verdict by Stephens, J., at the 7 March 1988 Session of WAKE Superior Court and remanding the case for entry of judgment on the verdict in favor of plaintiff. Heard in the Supreme Court 14 March 1990.

Burns, Day Presnell, P.A., by Lacy M. Presnell III, Daniel C. Higgins, and Susan F. Vick, for plaintiff appellee.

Broughton, Wilkins Webb, P.A., by Charles P. Wilkins and Kenneth B. Oettinger, for defendant appellant Veasey.


After hearing arguments and carefully considering the new briefs and record, we conclude that we improvidently allowed defendant's petition for discretionary review. The result is, therefore:

Discretionary review improvidently allowed.
