Decision Date | 05 March 1985 |
Docket Number | No. 8427DC501,8427DC501 |
Citation | 326 S.E.2d 78,73 N.C.App. 331 |
Court | North Carolina Court of Appeals |
Parties | Kenneth Wayne HEAVNER v. Brenda Harris HEAVNER. |
Lloyd T. Kelso, Gastonia, for defendant-appellant.
Basil L. Whitener and Anne M. Lamm, Gastonia, for plaintiff-appellee.
No appeal lies from an interlocutory order or ruling of a trial judge unless the order or ruling deprives the appellant of a substantial right which he would lose if the order or ruling is not reviewed before the final judgment. Blackwelder v. State of North Carolina Department of Human Resources, 60 N.C.App. 331, 299 S.E.2d 777 (1983); G.S. 1-277; G.S. 7A-27. An order is interlocutory if it does not determine the issues, but directs some further proceeding preliminary to the final decree. Waters v. Qualified Personnel, Inc., 294 N.C. 200, 240 S.E.2d 338 (1978). Judge Bulwinkle's order requiring plaintiff, defendant and Jeffrey to submit to a blood grouping test is an interlocutory order and is not appealable as it does not affect a substantial right. Davie County Department of Social Services v. Jones, 62 N.C.App. 142, 301 S.E.2d 926 (1983). We elect, however, to treat this appeal as a petition for certiorari, allow it, and pass upon the merits. See Lamb v. Wedgewood South Corp., 308 N.C. 419, 302 S.E.2d 868 (1983); Patrick v. Hurdle, 16 N.C.App. 28, 190 S.E.2d 871, cert. denied 282 N.C. 304, 192 S.E.2d 195 (1972).
