App. 581, 572 S.E.2d 820 (2002), defendants appealed by right to the Supreme Court of North Carolina based upon Judge Greene\u2019s dissent. See N.C. Gen. Stat. \u00a7 7A-30(2) (2002). That Court affirmed our decision without opinion (Per Curiam). However, upon noting that \u201c [defendants . . . sought review ... of a constitutional issue originally presented to but not addressed by the Court of Appeals,\u201d our Supreme Court, \u201cdecline [d] to consider this constitutional issue in the first instance\u201d and \u201cremanded to [this Court] so that this [constitutional] issue may be addressed.\u201d In essence, defendants contended before our Supreme Court that the second degree trespassing statute, as applied to defendants, violated the First Amendment of the United States Constitution and Article 1 \u00a7 14 of the North Carolina Constitution.\nOn remand, we can say it no better than the Supreme Court did in an analogous case over 20 years ago, State v. Felmet, 302 N.C. 173, 273 S.E.2d 708 (1981). Like defendants in this case, defendant in Felmet contended that North Carolina\u2019s trespass statute was unconstitutional. Justice Huskins held that \u201c [defendant's conduct was not protected under the First Amendment to the United States Constitution .... [n] or were defendant\u2019s actions protected under Article I, section 14 of the North Carolina Constitution . . . .\u201d Felmet, at 178, 273 S.E.2d at 712.\nAccordingly, for the reasons stated in State v. Felmet, 302 N.C. 173, 273 S.E.2d 708 (1981), we hold that these assignments of error are without merit in law or fact.\nAffirmed.\nPanel consisting of: WYNN, MARTIN, McGEE",
