ORDER

The Court determines that the record in this case is too sparse for adequate

judicial review and provides an insufficient basis upon which to create binding

precedent. We note that appellants have not challenged any of the trial court’s

findings of fact, and we decline to upset the ruling of the trial court on this record.

We express no opinion on the merits of the issues presented in this case but instead dismiss the appeal and exercise our constitutional and inherent authority to order

that the decision of the Court of Appeals in this case, Sanchez v. Cobblestone

Homeowners Ass’n of Clayton, Inc., ___ N.C. App. ___, 791 S.E.2d 238 (2016), has no

precedential value.

By order of the Court in Conference, this the 6th day of April, 2018.

s/Morgan, J.

For the Court

WITNESS my hand and the seal of the Supreme Court of North Carolina, this
