In the Matter of J.F., 237 N.C. App. 218 (2014)
Held:
Affirmed in Part
Reversed in Part
Vacated and Remanded in Part
In a sex offense case, the trial court lacked jurisdiction to conduct a dispositional hearing after the juvenile appealed the adjudication order under G.S. 7B-2602, which allows a juvenile to appeal the adjudication order when no disposition has been entered within 60 days. Unless a statute provides otherwise, an appeal stays further proceedings in the trial court until the cause is remanded by mandate of the appellate court.
