Heading: Defendant's Motions Testing Sufficiency of the Evidence.

Text: Although the defendant contends in his brief that the trial judge erred in denying his motion, made at the conclusion of the evidence, to dismiss as to all charges, he fails to point to any element upon which the evidence was not overwhelming, let alone sufficient. Likewise, the defendant's motion for judgment notwithstanding the verdict was properly denied. The defendant also assigns as error the denial of his motions to set aside the verdict and to arrest judgment. Such motions are addressed to the sound discretion of the trial judge, and in the absence of an abuse of discretion are not reviewable on appeal. State v. Boykin, 298 N.C. 687, 259 S.E.2d 883 (1979). The record reveals no abuse of discretion. The jury was properly presented with the evidence. These assignments of error are overruled.
