Mrs. Alice PRADO, Plaintiff-Appellee, v. HYDROCARBON TESTERS, INC., and Hartford Accident & Indemnity Company, Defendants-Appellants.
    No. 5466.
    Court of Appeal of Louisiana, Third Circuit.
    May 26, 1976.
    
      L. H. Oliver, Lafayette, for defendants-appellants.
    J. Minos Simon, Lafayette, for plaintiff-appellee.
    Before CULPEPPER, PETERS and HOOD, JJ.
   PETERS, Judge ad hoc.

Defendant-appellant neither appeared nor filed brief prior to the time this case was called for argument. Therefore, the court considers this appeal abandoned and dismisses it at defendant-appellant’s cost. Rule 7, Section 5(b), Uniform Rules, Courts of Appeal.

Plaintiff-appellee filed a brief praying that the court amend the lower court judgment to increase the award made in favor of plaintiff. Plaintiff-appellee filed no formal answer to defendant’s appeal and the court therefore cannot consider her claims. LSA-C.C.P. 2133.

Appeal dismissed.
