[No. 3931.]
    Rarick et al. v. Vandevier.
    Appellate Practice — Appeal from Court of Appeals — Failure to File Briefs — Dismissal.
    On an appeal from the court of appeals to the supreme court if the appellant fails to file new hriefs in the supreme court as required by Buie 48, the appeal will be dismissed.
    
      Appeal from the Court of Appeals.
    
    Mr. G. M. Aleen and Mr. W. C. Kingsley for appellants.
    No appearance for appellee.
   Peb Cubiam.

This case has several times been in the appellate courts of this state (Fetta v. Vandevier, 3 Colo. App. 419; Vandevier v. Fetta, 20 Colo. 368), and is nowhere upon an appeal from a decision of the court of appeals, the opinion appearing-in 11 Colo. App. 116.

Appellants have filed what is designated an assignment of errors in this court. It is doubtful if it complies with Rule 11 requiring each error to be separately alleged and particularly specified. No attempt, however, has been made to comply with Rule 48 which requires new briefs to be filed in this court on a review of a judgment of the court of appeals, and for this failure alone, a dismissal should follow. Bitter v. M. L. & I. Co., ante, p. 120.

There is a further reason for this action. The only substantial ground which appellants have urged in this court or in the court of appeals for a reversal of the judgment rendered against them in the district court is that the judgment below was not warranted by the evidence. An examination of the record satisfies us, as it did the court of appeals, that this judgment ought not to be overthrown. The appeal should, therefore, be dismissed, and the judgment of the court of appeals affirmed, and it is so ordered.

Affirmed.
