IN RE E.S.

No. COA07-1054.

663 S.E.2d 475 (2008)

In re E.S.

Court of Appeals of North Carolina.

August 5, 2008.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Attorney General Roy Cooper, by Assistant Attorneys General Chris Z. Sinha and Kathleen U. Baldwin, for the State.

Appellate Defender Staples Hughes, by Assistant Appellate Defender Matthew D. Wunsche, for juvenile-appellee.


GEER, Judge.

The State appeals from the superior court's order concluding that the district court erred in transferring E.S.'s juvenile delinquency case to superior court and remanding the case to district court. We agree with the State that the superior court effectively engaged in de novo review when it should have limited its review to a determination whether the district court abused its discretion by transferring the case. We, therefore, reverse.
