No. 108A86
(Filed 6 January 1987)
Appeal of right by defendant pursuant to N.C.G.S. § 7A-30 (2) from the decision of a divided panel of the Court of Appeals, 79 N.C. App. 19, 338 S.E. 2d 888 (1986). This Court allowed both parties’ petitions for discretionary review of additional issues.
On 25 January 1984, the applicant filed an application with the North Carolina Utilities Commission to discontinue water and sewer services. Following a hearing on 10 April 1984, the hearing examiner issued a Recommended Order denying the applicant’s request. This order was subsequently adopted by the Commission, with one minor alteration, on 10 September 1984. Applicant appealed to the Court of Appeals which affirmed in part, vacated in part, and remanded, with one judge dissenting.
