Brower & Johnson, 289 N.C. 644 (1976), they have waived their right now to complain about such errors. Hankerson v. North Carolina, --- U.S. ---, 53 L.Ed. 2d 306, 316, n. 8 (1977). Now, therefore, it is
ORDERED by the Court in Conference that defendants’ motion for reconsideration be and it is hereby denied.
