ORDER
Upon consideration of the petition filed by Plaintiff on the 19th of May 2009 in this matter for a writ of certiorari to review the decision of the North Carolina Court of Appeals, the following order was entered and is hereby certified to the North Carolina Court of Appeals:
"Allowed on the following issue only: Did plaintiffs waive their right to appeal the trial court's 16 February 2007 order allowing respondents' motion to dismiss by waiting to appeal until after entry of the trial court's final judgment?"
Therefore the case is docketed as of the date of this order's certification. Briefs of the respective parties shall be submitted to this Court within the times allowed and in the manner provided by Appellate Rule 15(g)(2).
