Court of Appeals of North Carolina December 20, 1983, 826SC1306 (Clark v. Moore)

EAGLES, Judge.

Defendants ask us to find that the trial judge erred in denying their motions for directed verdict and in denying their motion for judgment notwithstanding the verdict. Defendants contend that plaintiffs evidence as to defendants’ negligence was not sufficient to submit the case to the jury and that plaintiffs own evidence showed contributory negligence as a matter of law.
