They appealed to this Court. We found \u201cNo Error.\u201d See opinion filed 3 February 1961, reported. 254 N.C. 97, 118 S.E. 2d 58.\nDefendants thereafter applied to the Supreme Court of the United States for certiorari-. That Court, on June 22, 1964, granted the writ, vacated the judgment, and remanded the case \u201cto the Supreme Court of North Carolina for consideration in the light of Robinson v. Florida, ... U.S. .., 12 L. Ed. 2d 771, 84 S. Ct..., decided this date.\u201d 12 L. Ed. 2d 1032, 84 S. Ct. 1901.\nThe North Carolina State Board of Health, in 1958, exercising the authority given it by Art. 5, c. 72, of the General Statutes, promulgated an \u201cInspection Form for Restaurants and Food Handling Establishments.\u201d This inspection report makes provisions for toilet facilities \u201cfor each sex and race.\u201d It is, we think, apparent that the majority of the Supreme Court of the United States was of the opinion that the regulations promulgated by the North Carolina State Board of Health, like the regulations promulgated by the Florida State Board of Health, were sufficient to constitute state action depriving the operator of a restaurant of a freedom of choice with respect to the patrons he could serve.\nThe conclusion reached by the Supreme Court of the United States is binding on us; hence we reserve the judgments rendered at the April 1960 Term of the Superior Court of Wake County, and hold the Superior Court erred in overruling defendants\u2019 motions for nonsuit.\nReversed.",
