Funderburk v. Justice, 25 N.C. App. 655, 214 S.E. 2d 310 (1975).\nJudge Bullock\u2019s order that the parties and the child submit to a psychiatric examination prior to final determination on the question of custody is interlocutory. The trial judge is empowered to order the plaintiff to submit to a psychiatric examination. G.S. 1A-1, Rule 35. Clearly, the order appealed from does not deprive plaintiff of a substantial right which she might lose if the order is not reviewed before a final determination of custody.\nAppeal dismissed.\nChief Judge Brock and Judge Clark concur.",

Williams seeks an order for custody of Angela Denise Williams, born 4 March 1969, the only child of the marriage between plaintiff and the defendant, John F. Williams.\nOn 25 April 1975, when plaintiff filed her complaint for custody of the child, Judge Bason entered an order granting temporary custody to plaintiff and set a date for a hearing in the matter.

On 18 November 1975, Judge Bullock entered another order directing plaintiff, defendant, and minor child to submit themselves to Dr. Betty Hydrick (recommended by Dr. Lineber-ger) at Suite 101, Doctor\u2019s Building, St. Mary\u2019s Street, Raleigh, North Carolina, at 1:00 p.m. on Friday, November 21, 1975.
