This is another attempt to appeal from a \u201cTemporary Order.\u201d Insofar as the record discloses, plaintiff\u2019s claims for permanent alimony and counsel fees, and defendant\u2019s claim for absolute divorce, are still pending in the district court. Thus, defendant\u2019s appeal from the \u201cTemporary Order\u201d is subject to dismissal as being premature. See Stephenson v. Stephenson, 55 N.C. App. 250, 285 S.E. 2d 281 (1981).\nWe note defendant\u2019s notice of appeal was not given within ten days of the entry of the order appealed from. Thus this Court has no jurisdiction to hear the appeal. G.S. \u00a7 1-279.\nThe appeal is\nDismissed.\nChief Judge MORRIS and Judge MARTIN (Robert M.) concur.",
