No. 427A95.

Supreme Court of North Carolina.
April 4, 1996.
*60 Mast, Morris, Schulz & Mast, P.A. by George B. Mast, Bradley N. Schulz, and Christi C. Stem, Smithfield, for plaintiff-appellant Sammy Johnson.
Armstrong & Armstrong, P.A. by Marcia H. Armstrong, Smithfield; and Edward P. Hausle, P.A. by Edward P. Hausle, Greenville, for defendant-appellee Thomas C. Meehan.
PER CURIAM.
Judge Walker's dissenting opinion in the Court of Appeals correctly poses the "narrow" issue presented:
Johnson v. Johnson, 120 N.C.App. 1, 14, 461 S.E.2d 369, 376 (1995) (Walker, J., dissenting). We agree with the dissenting opinion that the question should be answered in the negative.
Accordingly, the decision of the Court of Appeals is reversed, and the case is remanded to that court for remand to the District Court, Johnston County, for further proceedings consistent with this opinion.
REVERSED AND REMANDED.
