Heading: On Defendants' Appeal.

Text: The first and determinative assignment of error on this appeal challenges the correctness of the order overruling defendants' demurrer to the complaint, on the ground, in the main, that it fails to state facts sufficient to constitute a cause of action. The purpose of this action is to obtain a writ of mandamus to require the Board of Aldermen of the city of New Bern to effect a withdrawal of the city from the North Carolina Local Governmental Employees' Retirement System. The facts alleged in the complaint fail to make out a case for such relief. What is said on plaintiffs' appeal, as hereinabove set forth, is determinative of the assignment of error here under consideration. We hold, therefore, that the demurrer of defendants is well taken. Moreover, for like reason the complaint fails to state a cause of action in support of the matters to which the injunction relates. On Plaintiffs' appeal affirmed. On Defendants' appeal reversed.
