This matter having come before this Court on defendant's Motion to Review Pursuant to Rule 2, this Court notes that defendant was convicted and sentenced to life imprisonment at a time when such cases were directly appealable to the Supreme Court of North Carolina. Accordingly, this Court has jurisdiction to consider defendant's petition, which we treat as a Petition for Writ of Certiorari. As such, defendant's Petition for Writ of Certiorari is denied.
