DIETZ, Judge.

This case comes before us on remand from the North Carolina Supreme Court to reconsider our previous decision in light of the Supreme Courts decision in State v. Brice , --- N.C. ----, 806 S.E.2d 32 (2017).

On remand, this Court entered an order inviting the parties to submit supplemental briefing addressing Brice s impact on this appeal. The State submitted a supplemental brief asserting that this case is materially indistinguishable from Brice , the decision there is controlling, and under Brice there is no error in the trial courts judgment. Whitehead did not submit a supplemental brief. We interpret Whiteheads decision not to submit a supplemental brief as a concession that there are no non-frivolous arguments to distinguish this case from Brice . Having reviewed the record on our own initiative, we agree. Accordingly, under Brice , we find no error in the trial courts judgment. NO ERROR.

Report per Rule 30(e).

Chief Judge McGEE and Judge TYSON concur.
