Young, Moore, Henderson & Alvis, P.A., by Brian E. Clemmons and M. Lee Cheney, Raleigh, for plaintiff appellee.


ARNOLD, Chief Judge.

Defendants first argue the trial court erred in failing to grant summary judgment for defendants Martin, Flaherty, Taylor, Stelle, and Barrett, all of whom were sued in their official capacity, on the basis of sovereign immunity.

In general, denial of a motion for summary judgment is interlocutory and not immediately appealable. EEE-ZZZ Lay Drain Co. v. N.C. Dept. of Human Resources, 108 N.C. App. 24
