IN THE MATTER OF: S.W.
On discretionary review pursuant to N.C.G.S. § 7A-31 of a unanimous decision
of the Court of Appeals, 298 N.C. App. 39 (2025), affirming orders entered on 16 May
2024 denying the guardian ad litem’s motion to hold the matter in abeyance, motion
to dismiss, and motion to transfer venue, by Judge Pauline Hankins in District Court,
Brunswick County. This matter was calendared for argument in the Supreme Court

No brief for petitioner-appellee Sharon Lee.

No brief for respondent-appellee father.
PER CURIAM.
Having carefully considered the opinion of the Court of Appeals, the record,
and the guardian ad litem’s brief, we conclude that the guardian ad litem’s petition
for discretionary review was improvidently allowed by order on 23 May 2025.
DISCRETIONARY REVIEW IMPROVIDENTLY ALLOWED.
