Court of Appeals of North Carolina March 19, 2019, No. COA18-161 (State v. Lopes)

BRYANT, Judge.

Where, on the charge of robbery with a dangerous weapon, the evidence was sufficient to establish that a dangerous weapon was used and no evidence to the contrary was presented, the trial court properly denied defendant's request for an instruction on the lesser included offense of common law robbery. Accordingly, we hold no error.
