R. Pract. Super. & Dist. Cts. 24, 2008 Ann. R. N.C. 25, but \u2018does not permit a trial court to declare a case noncapital based on the State\u2019s forecast of evidence of guilt of the underlying first-degree murder charge.\u2019 State v. Seward, 362 N.C. 210, 216 (2008). The trial court therefore exceeded the scope of a Rule 24 conference when it declared defendant\u2019s case noncapital on the basis of its consideration of evidence relating to the underlying charge of first-degree murder. Id. Accordingly, the State\u2019s petition for writ of certiorari is allowed for the limited purpose of reversing the trial court\u2019s order and remanding for a new Rule 24 conference to be held consistent with Rule 24 and this Court\u2019s decision in Seward, 362 N.C. 210,-S.E.2d-.\u201d\nBy order of the Court in Conference, this the 10th day of April, 2008.\nEdmunds, J. For the Court",
