(Bob) Smith, Jr., Hidden Valley Builders, Inc., a corporation, and Hobart Smith Construction Company, a corporation. No. 278. Supreme Court of North Carolina. April 12, 1967. *822 Don Davis and Beverly H. Currin, Charlotte, for plaintiffs. Levine, Goodman & Murchison, Charlotte, for defendants. PER CURIAM. G.S. § 1-500 provides: The dissolution of the restraining order was in the discretion of the trial judge. Such order is not reviewable by this Court except in cases of abuse of discretion. This record reveals no abuse of discretion on the part of the trial judge. G.S. § 1-500; Clark v. McQueen, 195 N.C. 714, 143 S.E. 528. Plaintiffs seek monetary damages, and should they be entitled to the additional equitable relief, there will be no injury to appellants if not granted before final judgment, since, if it is determined that the dwelling violates restrictive covenants, plaintiffs would have a remedy of mandatory injunction to compel defendants to conform the structure to the covenants. Ingle v. Stubbins, 240 N.C. 382, 82 S.E.2d 388. For reasons stated, plaintiffs' appeal is Dismissed.
