Attachment-14

Weaverville city police seized two GS machines set by Tellico Coin on 9-5-14 at Mountain Energy store in Weaverville.

NC Court of Appeals upholds the Sandhill / Gift Surplus injunction with only minor modifications.  The Court did not review the merits of the injunction because the issue was interlocutory.  One judge dissents saying that the court can review the entire trial court order and the injunction should not have been granted.  The dissent cites Collins Coin which had not been cited by a NC court with any discussion since Collins Coin was decided.  American Treasures is confirmed as good law.
