ORDER
The Court determines that the record in this case is too sparse for adequate
judicial review and provides an insufficient basis upon which to create binding
precedent. We note that appellants have not challenged any of the trial court’s
findings of fact, and we decline to upset the ruling of the trial court on this record.
We express no opinion on the merits of the issues presented in this case but instead
dismiss the appeal and exercise our constitutional and inherent authority to order
that the decision of the Court of Appeals in this case, Sanchez v. Cobblestone
Homeowners Ass’n of Clayton, Inc., ___ N.C. App. ___, 791 S.E.2d 238 (2016), has no
precedential value.
By order of the Court in Conference, this the 6th day of April, 2018.
s/Morgan, J.
For the Court
WITNESS my hand and the seal of the Supreme Court of North Carolina, this
