Description
Published opinion Mark Huebner (""plaintiff"") appeals from an order dismissing his complaint involuntarily and from a judgment in favor of Triangle Research Collaborative and Thaddeus K. Szostak (""defendants""). For the reasons stated below, we dismiss this appeal. I. Background On 12 July 2002, plaintiff filed a complaint against defendants seeking: (1) unpaid wages, liquidated damages, andattorney's fees pursuant to North Carolina's Wage and Hour Act (N.C. Gen. Stat. §§ 95-25.1 to 95-25.25); and (2) an injunction, reinstatement to employment, and compensation for lost wages, benefits and other economic losses pursuant to North Carolina's Retaliatory Employment Discrimination Act (N.C. Gen. Stat. §§ 95- 240 to 95-245). On 16 September 2002, defendants filed an answer and counterclaim alleging that plaintiff had breached the confidentiality agreement contained in his employment contract. On 4 October 2002, Jeffrey L. Starkweather filed a notice of appearance on plaintiff's behalf, and Elizabeth P. McLaughlin filed a motion to withdraw as plaintiff's counsel. The trial court allowed Ms. McLaughlin's motion to withdraw on 24 April 2003. On 16 May 2003, defendants filed a motion to continue and a motion for partial summary judgment. On 20 May 2003, the trial court entered an order continuing the trial; the court administrator rescheduled trial for 11 August 2003; and defendants' counsel and Mr. Starkweather agreed to extend the deadline for mediation until 21 July 2003. On 21 May 2003, defendants served Mr. Starkweather with notice that their motion for partial summary judgment would be heard on 17 July 2003.
