STROUD, Judge.
Plaintiff Sam’s East, Inc. appeals from an order entered 4 January 2008 granting summary judgment in favor of defendant. This case was consolidated with Wal-Mart Stores East, Inc. v. Hinton, No. COA08-450 (Wake County 06-CVS-3928) for the purpose of entry of summary judgment because as the trial court stated in the summary judgment order, “with the exception of the amounts assessed . . . the same facts and reasoning apply” to both cases. Neither party disputes this statement and we found nothing in the record indicating otherwise. Accordingly, for the reasons stated in Wal-Mart Stores East, Inc. v. Hinton, No. COA08-450, which is to be filed simultaneously with this opinion, judgment is affirmed with respect to the assessment of additional taxes and interest thereon. Furthermore, judgment as to the penalties assessed is also affirmed.
Affirmed.
Judges STEELMAN and JACKSON concur.
