    LEVINSON, Judge.

    James Williams (defendant) appeals from judgment entered upon his conviction of assault with a deadly weapon inflicting serious injury.
    Defendant was charged with assault with a deadly weapon inflicting serious injury upon Casey Pharr. He was convicted as charged and sentenced on 23 January 2004. From his conviction and judgment, defendant appeals.
    Defendant elected to represent himself both at trial and on appeal. As a result of numerous violations of the North Carolina Rules of Appellate Procedure, defendant's appeal is subject to dismissal. However, in the exercise of our discretion and pursuant to N.C.R. App. Proc. 2, we have reviewed the merits of defendant'sassignments of error. We have considered each of the defendant's contentions and find them to be without merit. We conclude that defendant received a fair trial free from prejudicial error.
    No error.
    Judges McCULLOUGH and ELMORE concur.
    Report per Rule 30(e).
