        "text": "PER CURIAM.\nThis case comes before this Court from the Court of Appeals, which affirmed the trial court\u2019s 18 March 2013 order denying defendant\u2019s motion to dismiss, but remanded the case \u201cto the trial court to make additional findings of fact addressing the availability of a magistrate and the additional time and uncertainties in obtaining a warrant, as well as the other attendant circumstances that bear upon the conclusion of law that exigent circumstances existed that justified the warrantless blood draw. State v. McCrary, _ N.C. App. _, _, 764 S.E.2d 477, 483 (2014) (internal quotation marks omitted). In considering this case, the trial court did not have the benefit of the opinion of the United States Supreme Court in Missouri v. McNeely, _ U.S. _, 133 S. Ct. 1552 (2013). Moreover, in remanding to the trial court for further findings of fact, the Court of Appeals did not vacate or reverse the trial court\u2019s previous order.\nWe affirm the Court of Appeals majority opinion to the extent it affirms the trial court\u2019s denial of defendant\u2019s motion to dismiss. In addition, we remand to the Court of Appeals with instructions to that court to vacate the portion of the trial court\u2019s 18 March 2013 order denying defendant\u2019s motion to suppress and further remand to the trial court for (1) additional findings and conclusions \u2014 and, if necessary \u2014 a new hearing on whether the totality of the events underlying defendant\u2019s motion to suppress gave rise to exigent circumstances, and (2) thereafter to reconsider, if necessary, the judgments and commitments entered by the trial court on 21 March 2013. Defendant\u2019s petition for a writ of certiorari and the State\u2019s petition for discretionary review were improvidently allowed.\nAFFIRMED IN PART AND REMANDED; PETITIONS FOR WRIT OF CERTIORARI AND FOR DISCRETIONARY REVIEW IMPROVIDENTLY ALLOWED.",
