    (Filed 9 February 1996)
    Appeal and Error § 115 (NCI4th)— order denying double jeopardy claim — no immediate appeal

   PER CURIAM.

The Court of Appeals correctly held that the order at issue was interlocutory and nonappealable. State v. Henry, 318 N.C. 408, 348 S.E.2d 593 (1986). The decision of the Court of Appeals is therefore

AFFIRMED.
