#### MARY E. NEWTON, Admx., *v.*LIGGETT & MYERS TOBACCO COMPANY.

(Filed 21 December, 1927.)

Removal of Causes — Petition—Amendments.

Amendments to a petition for removal of a cause from the State to the Federal Court does not defeat movant’s right when motion to amend is made in apt time.

Appeal by plaintiff from *Midyette, J.,*at March Term, 1927, of Durham.

Affirmed.

Action to recover damages for wrongful death. Upon petition of the nonresident defendant, the action was removed from the Superior Court of Durham County to the District Court of the United States for the Eastern District of North Carolina, for trial.

From the order of removal, plaintiff appealed to the Supreme Court.

*McLendon & Hedrick for plaintiff.*

*Fuller, Read & Fuller for defendant.*

Per Curiam.

The summons in this action was returnable before the clerk of the Superior Court of Durham County on 19 February, 1927. *817Plaintiff filed ber verified complaint prior to such return day. The nonresident defendant filed its petition for removal on 3 March, 1927, prior to the expiration of the time fixed by statute for filing answer to the complaint. Upon the hearing of this petition by the clerk, it was denied. The petitioner appealed from the order of the clerk denying its petition to the judge.

This appeal was heard by the judge on 11 March, 1927, during the March Term of court. Petitioner then moved for leave to amend its petition. This motion was taken under consideration by the judge, who allowed same on 19 March, 1927. Petitioner thereupon filed its amended petition, and plaintiff duly excepted.

Upon the hearing of the amended petition, the judge signed the order of removal, and plaintiff again excepted. Plaintiff’s assignments of error upon her appeal to this Court are based upon these exceptions. Neither of these assignments of error can be sustained. The motion for leave to amend was made prior to the expiration of the time to answer, and was allowed thereafter by the judge, during the term of court. For the purposes of the motion for removal, it must be taken that the amended petition was filed as of the date of the motion to amend, which was prior to the expiration of the time allowed defendant by statute to file answer to the complaint.

The amended petition is substantially the original petition as filed before the clerk. The order of removal upon the original petition is supported by *Crisp v. Champion Fibre Co.,*193 N. C., 77, 136 S. E., 239, and by *Cox v. Lumber Co.,*193 N. C., 28, 136 S. E., 254. The amended petition is but a restatement of the grounds for removal. The principles to be applied upon consideration of a motion for removal from the State to the Federal Court of an action pending in the State court, are well settled; they were correctly applied by the judge upon the facts set forth in the petition in this ease. The order is

Affirmed.
### Proposed Provision: A4. Starting December 2026, compute the COLA using a chained version of the consumer price index for wage and salary workers (CPI-W). We estimate this new computation will reduce the annual COLA by about 0.3 percentage point, on average. The new COLA will not apply to DI benefits. It will apply to OASI benefits, except for those of formerly disabled-workers who converted to retired-worker status.

### Proposed Provision: B4.4. Reduce the number of computation years (increase dropout years) for parents having a child in care under the age of 6. The parent must have no earnings (covered or non-covered) for the year to be eligible for the credit. Only one parent can claim the childcare added dropout year for a given earnings year. Each parent can earn at most 2 dropout years per child, and a maximum of 5 dropout years in total. The years designated as childcare years do not have to be the years that could otherwise be included in the computation of the average indexed monthly earnings (AIME). The provision would be effective for all benefits payable for entitlement in January 2025 and later (without regard for when the beneficiary became initially eligible).
### Proposed Provision: B1.2. Progressive price indexing (30th percentile) of PIA factors beginning with individuals newly eligible for OASDI benefits in 2030: Create a new bend point at the 30th percentile of the AIME distribution of newly retired workers. Maintain current-law benefits for earners at the 30th percentile and below. Reduce the 32 and 15 percent factors above the 30th percentile such that the initial benefit for a worker with AIME equal to the taxable maximum grows by inflation rather than the growth in the SSA average wage index.
#### VERMELLE C. KELLY v. CAESAR BACCHUS PIPER, JR., H. F. ASHBURN and JOHN WESLEY ASHBURN, and H. F. ASHBURN as Guardian Ad Litem for JOHN WESLEY ASHBURN.

(Filed 2 November, 1955.)

Appeal and Error §§ 1, 3—

While ordinarily the action of the trial judge in permitting a party to amend so as to plead a judgment obtained by bim in another action, is in the exercise of the court’s discretion, and an appeal therefrom will be dismissed as premature, the Supreme Court will take judicial notice of its own decision setting aside the judgment pleaded and ordering a new trial in the other action, and in the exercise of its supervisory power over the courts of the State, will order the amendment stricken *ex mero motu.*Constitution of North Carolina, Article IV, Sec. S.

Appeal by defendants, H. F. Ashburn and John Wesley Ashburn, and H. F. Ashburn, Guardian *ad litem*for John Wesley Ashburn, from *Johnston, J.,*at 11 July, 1955 Term, of Foesyth.

Civil action to recover damages to person and property allegedly sustained by plaintiff as result of actionable negligence of defendants,— heard upon motion of defendant Caesar Bacchus Piper, Jr., for an order allowing him to amend his cross-action against the defendants Ashburn so as to plead judgment obtained by him in his action against the Ashburns “as a full and final determination of the rights and liabilities as between and among the defendants in this action, all of whom were parties to the hereinabove mentioned suit instituted by the defendant Caesar Bacchus Piper, Jr., against H. F. Ashburn and John Wesley Ashburn.”

The cause coming on to be heard upon the motion above referred to, the court, in the exercise of its discretion, being of the opinion that such motion should be granted, so ordered. The defendants excepted thereto and gave notice of appeal, and appeal to the Supreme Court and assign error.

*Smith, Moore, Smith & Pope for defendant Piper, appellee.*

*Deal, Hutchins & Minor for defendants Ashburn, appellants.*

Per Curiam.

The judgment or order from which this appeal is taken was entered by the judge in the exercise of his discretionary power. Ordinarily such appeal is premature, and will be dismissed.

Nevertheless, the Court takes notice of its decision entered cotempo-raneously herewith by which error is found in the judgment sought to be pleaded, and a new trial is ordered therein. Hence the alleged basis *55for the order from which appeal is undertaken is wiped out, and the amendment, figuratively, is left suspended in mid-air.

Therefore the Supreme Court in the exercise of its supervisory power over courts of the State, N. C. Const., Art. IV, Sec. 8, *In re Stokley,*240 N.C. 658, 83 S.E. 2d 703, *ex mero motu,*orders the amendment stricken from the record.

The costs of this appeal will be divided between defendants appellant and defendant appellee.

Appeal dismissed.

Amendment stricken.
