Case below,

IN THE MATTER OF J.D.B., 686 S.E.2d 135 (N.C. 2009).

Petition for writ of certiorari to the North Carolina Court of Appeals is GRANTED and limited to the following questions:

1. Whether a court must consider a juvenile’s age in a Miranda custody analysis in evaluating the totality of the circumstances and determining whether a reasonable person in the juvenile’s position would have felt he was not free to terminate police questioning and leave?

2. Whether the fact that a police interrogation of a minor takes place at a minor’s school, with the assistance or approval of school authorities, establishes that the minor is “in custody” for the purpose of a Miranda determination?

ORDERED that this case be set down for argument in the October 2010 term of this Court.
