STATE v. ARTIS

No. 7626SC203.

228 S.E.2d 768 (1976)

STATE of North Carolina v. Lester Lee ARTIS.

Court of Appeals of North Carolina.

October 20, 1976.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Atty. Gen. Rufus L. Edmisten by Associate Atty. William H. Guy and Associate Atty. Gen. Joan H. Byers, Raleigh, for the State.

Public Defender Michael S. Scofield by Asst. Public Defender James Fitzgerald, Charlotte, for defendant.

MARTIN, Judge.

The defendant assigns as error the failure of the court to sustain his motion to sequester the State's witnesses.

Under our decisions, the sequestration of witnesses is not a matter of right but of discretion on the part of the trial judge. The exercise of such discretion is not reviewable in the absence of abuse of discretion. See State v. Taylor, 280 N.C. 273, 185 S.E.2d 677
