WYNN, Judge, dissenting:
For the reasons given in my dissenting opinion in Hale v. Afro-American Arts Int'l, 110 N.C.App. 621, 430 S.E.2d 457 which were adopted per curiam by our Supreme Court in Hale v. Afro-American Arts Int'l, 335 N.C. 231, 436 S.E.2d 588 (1993), I dissent.
Viar v. N.C. Dep't of Transp., 359 N.C. 400, 610 S.E.2d 360 (2005) did not overrule the well-settled holding of Hale. Accordingly, and with due respect, this Court in Ribble v. Ribble, ___ N.C.App. ___, 637 S.E.2d 239 (2006) did not have the authority to overrule our Supreme Court's holding in Hale.
