EXUM, Justice.
The first question raised in this case is whether one panel of the Court of Appeals may overrule the decision of another panel on the same question in the same case. We conclude that it may not. On the merits, we conclude the Court of Appeals also erred in holding that plaintiff may obtain a default judgment when there is an answer on file on the ground the answer was filed by an out-of-state attorney not authorized to practice in North Carolina.
