In re Revocation of License of Robert Morgan Gardner License No. 4835030

Defendant first contends that the trial court erred in denying its motion in limine seeking to prohibit the introduction of parol evidence establishing a fixed term of employment. A motion in limine is used to exclude prejudicial matter in advance of the trial and is addressed to the trial judges discretion. State v. Rouf, 296 N.C. 623, 252 S.E.2d 720 (1979). No prejudice resulted from the trial judges denial of the motion since the defendant retained his right to object to such evidence at trial.
