JOHN GAMBILL, Administrator of the Estate of Burl William Love, Individually; BILLY WILLIAM LOVE, Individually; DOUGLAS JAMES BROWN; NATIONWIDE MUTUAL INSURANCE COMPANY; BURL WILLIAM LOVE and BILLY RAY BURKE, t/d/b/a B & B USED CARS\nNo. 8223SC234\n(Filed 1 February 1983)\nAppeal and Error \u00a7 45\u2014 appellate review limited to questions presented\nWhere the entry of summary judgment was assigned as error, but the only question presented in an appellant\u2019s brief for review was whether liability insurance policies covered a fatal accident which was the subject of the action, under Rule 28(a) of the Rules of Appellate Procedure, the appeal must be dismissed in that the appellate court\u2019s review is limited to questions presented by the appellant\u2019s brief.\nAppeal by plaintiff from Davis, Judge. Judgment entered 1 December 1981 in Superior Court, Wilkes County. Heard in the Court of Appeals 14 January 1983.\nThis wrongful death action arose out of an automobile accident. According to the pleadings of the parties involved in this appeal, plaintiffs decedent, Danny Michael Wyatt, was a passenger in a car registered in the name of the defendant Brown, but operated by the defendant Gambill\u2019s decedent, Burl William Love, who along with the defendant Burke, jointly owned and conducted a business known as B & B Used Cars. The ap-pellees Burke and B & B Used Cars denied that Love was about that enterprise\u2019s business when the fatal accident occurred and alleged that he was on a personal venture of his own. During discovery many depositions were taken, much of the testimony being about Love\u2019s purpose in using the car on the occasion involved and the different liability insurance policies that various of the defendants and their spouses had.\nThe defendants Burke and B & B Used Cars then moved for summary judgment on the ground that there was no evidence that the decedent Love was acting as their agent at the time of the accident. After a hearing before Judge Davis, judgment allowing the motion was entered and the plaintiff appealed. Though the entry of the judgment was assigned as error, the only question presented in the brief for review was whether the liability insurance policies of B & B Used Cars and its partners covered the fatal accident.\nFranklin Smith for plaintiff appellant.\nWomble, Carlyle, Sandridge & Rice, by Allen R. Gitter, for defendant appellee Billy Ray Burke, d/b/a B & B Used Cars."
