COOPER v. THIGPEN.
    No. 4191.
    Court of Appeal of Louisiana. Second Circuit, Second Division.
    March 16, 1932.
    Lee & Williams, of Mansfield, for appellant.
    S. M, Atkinson, of Mansfield, for appellee.
   STEPHENS, J.

The plaintiff, a practicing physician in Mansfield, La., brought this suit to recover the sum of $150 for professional services rendered for the account of Tom Thigpen, the defendant.

The defendant answered admitting an indebtedness to the plaintiff of $65.50 of the sum sued for, and averring that that amount had been tendered the plaintiff and refused by him since the institution of the suit.

A trial of the case resulted in a judgment in favor of plaintiff as prayed for, and the defendant appealed.

As the amount in dispute is clearly less than $100, this court is without jurisdiction, and the appeal is- therefore dismissed ex proprio motu.
