Eddie and Sally Cary PACKER, Plaintiffs-Appellees, v. GRAMBLING INVESTMENTS, INC., Defendant-Appellant.
    No. 11135.
    Court of Appeal of Louisiana. Second Circuit.
    Jan. 7, 1969.
    Grambling Investments, Inc., in pro. per.
    Joel M. Sermons, Shreveport, for appel-lee.
    Before GLADNEY, AYRES and PRICE, JJ.
   AYRES, Judge.

From a judgment in favor of plaintiffs against defendants, Grambling Investments, Inc., and Herman Harrison, in solido, defendant Grambling Investments, Inc., was granted orders- of suspensive and de-volutive appeal. A devolutive appeal was perfected by the filing of an appropriate bond.

However, defendant-appellant has neither appeared in this court nor filed a brief in this cause. Rule VII, Section 5(b), Uniform Rules of the Courts of Appeal as revised July 1, 1963, provides:

“The court may exproprio moiu:
“Consider abandoned and dismiss the appeal in any case in which the appellant has neither appeared nor filed brief prior to the date fixed for submission of the case * *

The uniform practice under this rule is that all such appeals be dismissed, and in this instance it is so ordered at defendant-appellant’s costs.

Dismissed.
