        "text": "PARKER, Judge.\nDefendants are appealing from an order of the district court sustaining objections to, and granting a motion to strike, certain interrogatories directed to the plaintiff concerning a so-called \u201cDealer Reserve Account\u201d. In the same order, the court denied defendants\u2019 motion to compel answers to those interrogatories. Defendants also appeal from the denial of their motion to permit them to respond to plaintiff\u2019s request for admissions. Defendants, therefore, are seeking to appeal from an order which is interlocutory in nature. However, it is well established in this State that no appeal lies from an interlocutory order or ruling unless such ruling deprives the appellant of a substantial right which would be lost if the ruling were not reviewed before final judgment. G.S. 1-277, G.S. 7A-27. Funderburk v. Justice, 25 N.C. App. 655, 214 S.E. 2d 310 (1975) (lists examples of appealable interlocutory rulings). Defendants\u2019 appeal is fragmentary and premature. Pack v. Jarvis, 40 N.C. App. 769, 253 S.E. 2d 496 (1979). The posture in which the issues are presented render this Court\u2019s determination of the prejudicial effect of alleged errors purely conjectural. The case of Transportation, Inc. v. Strick Corp., 291 N.C. 618, 231 S.E. 2d 597 (1977), is distinguishable on the compelling facts of that case.\nAppeal dismissed.\nJudges HEDRICK and WEBB concur.",

    "head_matter": "FIRST UNION NATIONAL BANK v. ROSS M. OLIVE and NANCY M. OLIVE\nNo. 7826DC819\n(Filed 7 August 1979)\nAppeal and Error \u00a7 6.2\u2014 interlocutory order \u2014 appeal premature\nThe trial court\u2019s order sustaining objections to, and granting a motion to strike, certain interrogatories, denying defendants\u2019 motion to compel answers to those interrogatories, and denying defendants\u2019 motion to permit them to respond to plaintiff\u2019s request for admissions was interlocutory, and defendants\u2019 appeal therefrom was fragmentary and premature.\nAPPEAL by defendant from Saunders, Judge. Order entered 27 June 1978 in District Court, MECKLENBURG County. Heard in the Court of Appeals 23 May 1979.\nThis is an action brought to recover the balance allegedly due on a purchase money security agreement covering defendants\u2019 purchase of five mobile homes. Plaintiff is the assignee of Guardian Credit Corporation and is a purchaser for value of the conditional sales contract. When defendants became four payments in arrears under the security agreement, the entire balance was declared due and payable, and plaintiff repossessed the mobile homes on 3 November 1975. Plaintiff alleges that due notice of sale was given, and that the collateral was sold bringing a net sum, after expenses, of $5,115. Plaintiff alleges that, after giving defendants full credit for offsets and credit due, defendants jointly and severally are indebted to plaintiff in the sum of $2,667.70. Plaintiff also seeks attorney\u2019s fees according to the terms of the security agreement. Defendants, without legal counsel, answered the complaint averring that Mr. Alan Withrow of Arrowood Mobile Homes was the \u201cseller, guarantor, and management for the five mobile homes with recourse\u201d. They aver that plaintiff had already satisfied the indebtedness by deducting $2,953.75 from the Arrowood Mobile Homes \u201cReserve Account\u201d. Defendants also aver that the expenses in connection with repossession and sale of the mobile homes were excessive. Defendants seek damages from plaintiff in the amount of $5,469.84.\nPlaintiff filed, on 21 October 1977, a combined motion for summary judgment and request for admissions with respect to the genuineness of all relevant documents. There was no reply to the request for admissions, and summary judgment was thereafter entered in plaintiffs behalf on 19 January 1978. Defendants then obtained the services of counsel. A motion was filed to vacate the judgment on the grounds that defendants never were given the proper notice of hearing on the motion for summary judgment. An order vacating the judgment was entered 21 April 1978. Defendants then served plaintiff with interrogatories seeking information concerning the \u201cDealer Reserve Account\u201d maintained with Alan T. Withrow. Soon thereafter, defendants filed a motion to permit them to answer plaintiffs request for admissions filed 21 October 1977. Plaintiff filed objections and moved to strike certain interrogatories on the grounds that they were irrelevant to the pending action. Defendants responded with a motion to compel discovery. On 12 June 1978, defendants requested that the trial court make findings of fact and conclusions of law with respect to defendants\u2019 pending motions and plaintiffs motion to strike interrogatories. An order was entered denying both defendants\u2019 motion to compel discovery and their motion to allow\nanswers to the request for admissions.\nPlaintiff\u2019s motion to strike interrogatories was granted. Defendants appeal.\nClontz and Morton, by Ralph C. Clontz III, for plaintiff ap-pellee.\nHolleman and Siam, by Paul Stam, Jr., for defendant appellant."
