Ray's Estate

Argued September 30, 1924. Rule to remove executors.

The opinion of the Supreme Court states the facts.

Rule discharged. Mary Ann Ray, widow, appealed.

Neither appearance nor printed brief for appellant. When this case was reached for argument, appellant neither appeared nor filed a brief. Counsel for appellees was present and asked that we adjudge certain questions as to the meaning of a written stipulation, which, they contend, was entered into by counsel on both sides of the case at the suggestion of this court, when, on a former occasion, hearing of the present appeal was continued. Rule 80 of the Supreme Court provides: "When a case is called for argument, if appellant is not ready to proceed *Page 298 and has filed no brief, the appeal will be dismissed as of course." No brief having been filed by appellant, this appeal must be dismissed; there is nothing before the court which would warrant us in construing the stipulation at the present time.

The appeal is accordingly dismissed.
