Appeal and Error § 14 — failure to appeal within 10 days after judgment

The Court of Appeals did not obtain jurisdiction where the appeal was not taken within 10 days after rendition of the judgment appealed from as required by G.S. 1-279, and the appeal must be dismissed.

Appeal by plaintiff from Allen, Judge. Order entered 7 April 1975 in District Court, Buncombe County. Heard in the Court of Appeals 14 October 1975.

Henry G. Fisher for plaintiff appellants.

S. Thomas Walton for defendant appellees.

CLARK, Judge.

It appears from the record on appeal that appeal was taken on 22 April 1975 from the order of dismissal rendered in session on 7 April 1975. Plaintiff failed to comply with G.S. 1-279, which requires that appeal must be taken within 10 days after rendition of judgment. Under these circumstances the Court of Appeals does not obtain jurisdiction, and we must dismiss it. Oliver v. Williams, 266 N.C. 601, 146 S.E. 2d 648 (1966).

Appeal dismissed.

Chief Judge Brock and Judge Hedrick concur.
