Description
Appellants took their appeal to this Court claiming that the judgment of the superior court deprived them of property without Due Process of Law in violation of the Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution and in violation of the Law of the Land provision of Article I § 19 of the North Carolina Constitution. This appeal is dismissed. The interest of the appellants is still contingent, Strickland v. Jackson, 259 N.C. 81, 130 S.E.2d 22 (1963). If appellants are ultimately denied an interest in this property by operation of the statutes relied upon by the Court of Appeals, e.g., General Statutes 48-6 (1941) and 48-23 (1966), it is now settled that such ""statutes destroying or diminishing contingent interests in property do not, per se, deprive the holder thereof of property without due process of law . . . or violate any other constitutional limitation upon legislative power. Stanback v. Citizens National Bank, 197 N.C. 292, 148 S.E. 313 [1929]."" Peele v. Finch, 284 N.C. 375, 200 S.E.2d 635 (1973). (Emphasis added.) There was no substantial constitutional question upon which to predicate this appeal.
