MARGARET WILLIAMS PITTS, Individually and on behalf of all persons similarly situated v. AMERICAN SECURITY INSURANCE COMPANY, AMERICAN SECURITY INSURANCE GROUP, STANDARD GUARANTY INSURANCE COMPANY, AND WACHOVIA BANK OF NORTH CAROLINA, N.A.
PER CURIAM.
Justices ORR, WAINWRIGHT, and EDMUNDS did not participate in the consideration or decision of this case. The remaining members of the Court were equally divided, with two members voting to affirm the decision of the Court of Appeals and two members voting to reverse. Therefore, the decision of the Court of Appeals is left undisturbed and stands without precedential value. See Reese v. Barbee, 350 N.C. 60, 510 S.E.2d 374 (1999); Nesbit v. Howard, 333 N.C. 782, 429 S.E.2d 730 (1993).
AFFIRMED.
