No. 7212SC816.

193 S.E.2d 411 (1972)

17 N.C. App. 135

STATE of North Carolina v. Robert Lee RAY.

Court of Appeals of North Carolina.

December 20, 1972.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Atty. Gen. Robert Morgan by Asst. Attys. Gen. Melvin W. Melvin and William B. Ray, for the State.

Sol G. Cherry, Public Defender, Twelfth Judicial District, for defendant appellant.


GRAHAM, Judge.

The only assignment of error brought forward on appeal is directed to the court's denial of defendant's motion to continue the case so that he might employ private counsel.

A motion for continuance is ordinarily addressed to the sound discretion of the trial court, and its ruling thereon is not subject to review absent an abuse of discretion. 2 Strong, N.C.Index 2d, Criminal Law, § 91; State v. Baldwin, 276 N.C. 690
