Alexander & McCormick by Sydenham B. Alexander, Jr., and John G. McCormick, Durham, for defendant-appellant.

HARRY C. MARTIN, Judge.

Defendant attempts to appeal as a matter of right to this Court from the discretionary order of the trial court denying defendant's motion for change of venue pursuant to N.C.G.S. 1-83(2), for the convenience of witnesses and the ends of justice. *636 Defendant cannot so do. The order of Judge Ragan was an interlocutory order, not finally disposing of the case. N.C.Gen.Stat. 7A-27(c). It does not fall within the provisions of N.C.G.S. 7A-27(d), which allows appeal as a matter of right from certain interlocutory orders. Defendant's appeal must be and is

Dismissed.

ARNOLD and ERWIN, JJ., concur.
