Chief Justice Mitchell
dissenting.
I believe that N.C.G.S. § 1A-1, Rule 56(c) implicitly requires that the plaintiff’s opposing affidavits be filed in this case prior to the day of the summary judgment hearing. Nationwide Ins. Co. v. Chantos, 21 N.C. App. 129, 130, 203 S.E.2d 421, 423 (1974). The plaintiff failed to comply with that requirement. Therefore, I dissent from the decision of the majority and would hold that the Court of Appeals did not err in affirming the trial court’s order allowing defendant’s motion for summary judgment.
