1. ““It is appropriate here, and therefore, we will reiterate what this Court said in State v. Farrell, 3 N.C. App. 196 , 164 S.E. 2d 388 : ‘The Rules of Practice in the Appellate Division of The General Court of Justice are mandatory, not directory, and must be uniformly enforced. Neither the judges, nor the solicitors, nor the attorneys, nor the parties have the right to ignore or dispense with the rule requiring docketing within the time prescribed. If the rules are not complied with, this Court may ex mero motu dismiss the appeal. Carter v. Board of Alcoholic Control, No. 519, Fall Term 1968, N. C. Supreme Court, filed 20 November 1968. And for failure to docket the record on appeal within the time prescribed by the rules, this appeal should be dismissed ex mero motu.’ ””
