v.
NELSON’S AUTO SALVAGE & TOWING SERVICE, Employer
On discretionary review pursuant to N.C.G.S. § 7A-31 of
a unanimous, unpublished decision of the Court of Appeals, 189
N.C. App. 404, 659 S.E.2d 97 (2008), affirming an opinion and
award filed on 17 January 2007 by the North Carolina Industrial
Commission.  Heard in the Supreme Court 4 May 2009.
Scudder & Hedrick, PLLC, by Alice Tejada, for
plaintiff-appellee.
Bourlon & Davis, P.A., by Thomas E. Davis, for
defendant-appellant. 
PER CURIAM.
Justice HUDSON took no part in the consideration or
decision of this case.  The remaining members of the Court are
equally divided, with three members voting to affirm and three
members voting to reverse the decision of the Court of Appeals. 
Accordingly, the decision of the Court of Appeals is left
undisturbed and stands without precedential value.  See, e.g.,
Barham v. Hawk, 360 N.C. 358, 625 S.E.2d 778 (2006).
AFFIRMED.
