Davie County Department of Social Services ex rel. Brown v. Jones

301 S.E.2d 926, 62 N.C. App. 142, 1983 N.C. App. LEXIS 2799

Opinion

VAUGHN, Chief Judge.

This is an action seeking support of a minor child. Paternity is at issue. The court entered an order directing defendant to submit to a blood grouping and comparison test pursuant to G.S. 8-50.1, and defendant gave notice of appeal from that order.

An order to submit to a blood grouping test pursuant to G.S. 8-50.1 is interlocutory. No appeal lies from an interlocutory order that does not affect a substantial right. An order to submit to a blood grouping test does not, in this case, affect a substantial right. We are, therefore, required to dismiss the appeal. Love v. Moore, 305 N.C. 575, 291 S.E. 2d 141 (1982); Bailey v. Gooding, 301 N.C. 205, 270 S.E. 2d 431 (1980).

Appeal dismissed.

Judges Hedrick and Arnold concur.
