Decided June 2, 1930

Louisiana Court of Appeal · decided 1930-06-02

Relies on Chace v. Johnson · Rawlings v. Schwartz · Jacobs v. Weaver Rivers

Decided 1930-06-02

WEBB, J.

¶1In this cause a motion is made to dismiss the appeal on the ground that the transcript was not filed on or before the return day or within three days thereafter.

¶2The record shows that judgment was rendered on December 14, 1929, and an appeal granted on the same date returnable on January 27, 1930, and that the appeal was perfected by filing a bond on January 7, 1930, but that the transcript was not filed until February 5, 1930. Appellant has not made any opposition to the motion to dismiss, and, in the absence of any showing that the failure to file the transcript in time was not due to the fault of appellant, the appeal must be dismissed. Jacobs vs. Weaver & Rivers, 167 La. 59, 118 So. 692. Also, Girod vs. Monroe Brick Co., 127 La. 328, 53 So. 582; Collins Piano Co. vs. Cospelich, 7 La. App. 277; Cain vs. Stewart, 11 La. App. 283, 123 So. 519.

¶3It is therefore ordered that the appeal be dismissed at appellant’s cost.
