In re A.R., 238 N.C.App. 302 (2014)

When the right to appeal a cease reunification order is timely preserved, the appeal may be heard if a TPR is not commenced within 180 days of the cease reunification order. The appeal of the cease reunification order must be made after the expiration of that 180 day time period, for the 180 day time period acts as a delay for the filing of a notice of appeal. Once the 180 days elapses, the 30 day time limit to appeal the cease reunification order applies. In this case, the appeal was untimely because it was filed more than 210 days after the entry of a cease reunification order.
