it depends what your fire codes read. check with your local bldg inspector or code enforcement office. some municipalities wont allow it if theres no fire barrier.if there are no code violations, as long as your top plate is secure, then there shouldn't be a problem.

Difference between load bearing and non-load bearing walls?

Non-load-bearing walls support only themselves; they are interior partition walls. They have a single top plate. While non-load-bearing walls might run perpendicular to floor and ceiling joists, they will not be aligned above support beams. As the name implies, load-bearing walls carry the structural weight of your home. Load-bearing walls in platform-frame homes will have double top plates. That is, two layers of framing lumber. Note: all exterior walls are load bearing; I got this from another site.
