KOURY v. JOHN MEYER OF NORWICH

No. 7826SC57.

261 S.E.2d 217 (1980)

44 N.C. App. 392

W. C. KOURY v. JOHN MEYER OF NORWICH, a corporation; Casey, Daly & Bennett, P. A., a Professional Association; and Hugh G. Casey, Jr., and Walter H. Bennett, Jr., Individually.

Court of Appeals of North Carolina.

January 8, 1980.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

T. LaFontine Odom, L. Holmes Eleazer, Jr., and Weinstein, Sturges, Odom, Bigger, Jonas & Campbell, Charlotte, for plaintiff-appellant.

William C. Livingston and Kennedy, Covington, Lobdell & Hickman, Charlotte, for John Meyer of Norwich, defendant-appellee.

John G. Golding and Golding, Crews, Meekins, Gordon & Gray, Charlotte, for Casey, Daly & Bennett, P. A., and Hugh G. Casey, Jr., and Walter H. Bennett, Jr., defendants-appellees.

PARKER, Judge.

Summary judgments dismissing plaintiff's claim for false imprisonment were properly entered. The order of Judge Falls under which plaintiff was arrested, although erroneous, was not void, and it protects against an action for false imprisonment both the officer who made the arrest and the defendants who procured the order to be entered. Bryan v. Stewart, 123 N.C. 92, 31 S.E. 286 (1898); Tucker v. Davis, 77 N.C. 330 (1877).
