Court of Appeals of North Carolina.

February 16, 1982.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Appellate Defender Project for North Carolina by Asst. Appellate Defender, Marc D. Towler, Raleigh, for defendant-appellant.

VAUGHN, Judge.

Defendant brings forward two assignments of error, neither of which discloses prejudicial error.

A court has the inherent authority to appoint an interpreter for the proper transaction of its business. Wise v. Short, 181 N.C. 320, 322, 107 S.E. 134, 136 (1921).
