Annotate this Case
US Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit - 314 F.2d 836 (5th Cir. 1963) March 14, 1963

Thomas B. Huie, Huie, Fernambucq & Stewart, Birmingham, Ala., Sam Earl Esco, Jr., Selma, Ala., for appellant.

J. E. Wilkinson, Jr., Wilkinson, Wilkinson & Russell, Selma, Ala., for appellees.

Before TUTTLE, Chief Judge, and POPE1  and JONES, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM.


It appearing that the trial court entered a final order dismissing the complaint below on motion for summary judgment on November 13, 1961, and that notice of appeal was not filed for more than seven months after the date of such judgment, this Court has no jurisdiction to consider the appeal.

Appellant's motion, itself filed more than six months after the November 13th order could have no effect in the direction of extending the time for the filing of the notice of appeal.

The appeal is, therefore,

Dismissed.
