No. COA01-301.
Court of Appeals of North Carolina.
March 19, 2002.
Whitesides & Kenny, L.L.P., by Terry Albright Kenny, Gastonia, for defendant-appellee Lu Ann Flitt.
TIMMONS-GOODSON, Judge.
Bruce James Flitt ("plaintiff") appeals from an order by the trial court declining to incorporate a separation agreement between plaintiff and his former wife, Lu Ann Flitt ("defendant"), into the parties' final divorce judgment.

That provisions relating to spousal support and property shall not be incorporated.
