    HILTON B. FRASER v. L. GLENN LITTLEJOHN
    No. 8926SC113
    (Filed 5 December 1989)
    APPEAL by defendant from order entered 31 August 1988 by Judge Frank W. Snepp, Jr. in MECKLENBURG County Superior Court. Heard in the Court of Appeals 9 October 1989.
    This action, filed in Mecklenburg County Superior Court on 6 April 1988, seeks monetary relief from appellant Littlejohn upon a promissory note dated 20 December 1974. Simultaneously with filing the Complaint, plaintiff filed an Affidavit in Attachment Proceeding and also issued a Notice of Levy and Garnishment Proceedings, thereby garnishing appellant’s interest as beneficiary of an estate of a North Carolina resident. The basis for such attachment and garnishment being that appellant is a nonresident. Appellant was served with summons in his county of residence in South Carolina on 6 April 1988. On 19 May 1988, appellant moved to dismiss the complaint for lack of personal jurisdiction pursuant to N.C.G.S. § 1A-1, Rule 12(b)(2). On 31 August 1988, the matter was heard before Judge Snepp, who entered an Order on 13 September 1988 denying appellant’s motions. Appellant appealed.
