Supreme Court

Admissibility of blood test evidence obtained in DWI case; application of U.S. Supreme Court's decisions in Birchfield v. North Dakota and Missouri v. McNeely to N.C.G.S. 20-16.2(b), permitting warrantless testing of an unconscious person an officer reasonably believes to have committed an implied-consent offense.
Stokes v. Crumpton
Interlocutory appeal from trial court's order denying plaintiff's motion to allow discovery in conjunction with a pending motion to vacate a previous arbitration award and court order and judgment incorporating the terms thereof; whether the trial court's denial of the discovery request implicated a substantial right and thus entitled plaintiff to immediate appellate review of the order.
State v. Godwin
Whether N.C. Rule of Evidence 702(a1) requires a witness in a DWI case to be qualified as an expert pursuant to Rule 702(a) before he may testify to the issue of impairment related to HGN results; whether the trial court erred in denying defendant's request for a special jury instruction explaining that results of a chemical breath test were not conclusive evidence of impairment.
Murray v. Univ. of N.C. at Chapel Hill
Whether the trial court erred in denying defendant's motion to dismiss plaintiff's suit against the University; whether defendant properly raised a sovereign immunity defense before the trial court, thereby making defendant's interlocutory appeal from denial of its motion to dismiss immediately reviewable by an appellate court; whether plaintiff's complaint should be dismissed on mootness grounds.
