Upon appeal from the judge\u2019s order, this court, in an opinion by Brock, J., (see In re Estate of Nancy S. Davis, 7 N.C. App. 697, 173 S.E. 2d 620, filed 6 May 1970) affirmed the order of the Superior Court. The question raised by this appeal is therefore moot since any right plaintiff might have had for injunctive relief terminated with the vacating of its letters testamentary.\nAppeal dismissed.\nBrocic and Britt, JJ., concur.",

NORTH CAROLINA NATIONAL BANK\nNo. 7028SC259\n(Filed 27 May 1970)\nAppeal and Error \u00a7 9\u2014 moot question \u2014 appeal of bank acting in capacity of executor\nThe question presented by the appeal of plaintiff bank acting as executor of an estate is held rendered moot where Court of Appeals in another case had affirmed an order setting aside plaintiff\u2019s letters testamentary.\nAppeal by plaintiff from Grist, J., 8 December 1969 Session of BunCombe County Superior Court.\nBoth parties claim to represent the estate of the late Nancy Smith Davis. Plaintiff purports to act pursuant to letters testamentary issued by the Clerk of Buncombe County Superior Court. Defendant purports to act pursuant to letters of administration issued by the Clerk of the Iredell County Superior Court.\nPlaintiff instituted this action in Buncombe County Superior Court on 13 November 1969 seeking injunctive relief from an order of the Iredell Clerk which ordered plaintiff to deliver to defendant all assets of the late Nancy Smith Davis in its possession. In its complaint, plaintiff alleged that the Buncombe County Clerk had entered an order denying a motion by defendant and others to vacate plaintiff\u2019s letters testamentary. It was also alleged that this order was based upon the Clerk\u2019s supported findings that he had conclusive jurisdiction over the estate as ex officio judge of probate for Buncombe County. Plaintiff prayed that defendant be enjoined from executing the order of the Iredell County Clerk \u201cuntil such time as the Order of the Clerk of Superior Court of Buncombe County becomes final for lack of appeal, or until the same is modified, affirmed or reversed upon appeal; . .\nDefendant's demurrer to plaintiff\u2019s complaint was sustained on 18 December 1969 and plaintiff appealed. \u2022\nVan Winkle, Buck, Wall, Starnes & Hyde by Herbert L. Hyde for plaintiff appellant.\nJordan, Wright, Nichols, Caffrey & Hill by Welch Jordan and Edward L. Murrelle for defendant appellee."
