G.S. 15-173. Review of the record reveals that there was substantial evidence tending to prove each essential element of the offense charged. Contradictions and discrepancies in the State\u2019s evidence were for the jury to resolve and do not warrant granting of the motion for nonsuit. State v. Carter, 265 N.C. 626, 144 S.E. 2d 826; State v. Simpson, 244 N.C. 325, 93 S.E. 2d 425. Defendant\u2019s court-appointed counsel, in his brief, states that this is a case in which an indigent defendant has exercised his absolute right to appeal and placed upon court-appointed counsel the duty of finding error in his trial. Appellant\u2019s brief further states that his counsel, after careful research, has found that the court has committed no prejudicial error in denying the motion for nonsuit. The remaining assignments of error have been expressly abandoned in the appellant\u2019s brief.\nAfter reviewing the entire record, we find\nNo error.\nMallard, C.J., and Britt, J., concur.",
