¶1The order granting the extension of time to serve the case on appeal was not signed by the trial judge who signed the order which is the basis of this appeal as required by Rules 5 and 50 of the Rules of Practice in the Court of Appeals of North Carolina. The appeal is, therefore, subject to dismissal.
¶2We have nevertheless examined defendant’s assignments of error and are of the opinion that they are without merit.
¶3Appeal dismissed.
