Thelma FREEMAN v. SCM CORPORATION.

Supreme Court of North Carolina.

June 5, 1984.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Pollock, Fullenwider, Cunningham & Patterson, P.A. by Bruce T. Cunningham, Jr., Southern Pines, for plaintiff-appellant.

William D. Sabiston, Jr., Carthage, for defendant-appellee.

Golding, Crews, Meekins, Gordon & Gray by James P. Crews, and Weinstein, Sturges, Odom, Groves, Bigger, Jonas & Campbell, P.A., John J. Doyle, Jr., Charlotte, for

Radiator Specialty Company, amicus curiae.


PER CURIAM.

After reviewing the record and briefs, and hearing oral argument on the question presented, we conclude that the result reached by the majority below is correct. Plaintiff's remedies under the Workers' Compensation Act are exclusive and she is therefore precluded from recovering against her employer in this independent negligence action. The trial court properly granted defendant's motion to dismiss for lack of subject matter jurisdiction.
