#### Allentown, Appellant, *v.*Roth.

*Municipalities*— Municipal *claims*— Personal *action against*owner— *Assessments*— Act *of April 4,1907, P. L. 40-*

The Act of April 4, 1907, P. L. 40, providing “that hereafter all municipalities of the commonwealth of Pennsylvania may proceed for the recovery or collection of any municipal claim or claims whatsoever by lien or by an action of assumpsit,” is not retroactive and does not apply to cases in which the improvements were completed and the assessments made thereon prior to the enactment of that statute.

Argued Jan. 31, 1911.

March 20, 1911:

Appeal, No. 4, Jan. T., 1911, by plaintiff, from judgment of C. P. Lehigh Co., Jan. T., 1910, No. 59, sustaining defendants’ demurrer to statement in case of city of Allentown to use of Warren Brothers Company v. Henry Roth et al.

Before Brown, Mestrezat, Elkin, Stewart and Moschzisker, JJ.

Affirmed.

Assumpsit to recover an assessment for street paving. Before Trexler, P. J.

The opinion of the Supreme Court states the case.

The court sustained defendants’ demurrer to the statement of claim and entered judgment for defendants.

*Error assigned*was the order sustaining demurrer.

*Frank Jacobs,*for appellant.

*Thos. H. Diefenderfer,*for appellees.

Per Curiam,

This is an action in assumpsit by the appellant to recover from a number of property owners in the city of Allentown the amount of assessments against their properties for certain municipal improvements. It seeks to recover under the Act of April 4, 1907, P. L. 40. That *141act is not retroactive, as is clearly pointed out in Barnesboro Borough v. Speice, 40 Superior Ct. 609. The improvements for which the appellant sues were completed and the assessments made thereon prior to the passage of the act of 1907, and its provisions cannot, therefore, be invoked. The judgment for the defendants on their demurrer is affirmed.

Dear Secretaries Foxx, Pritzker and Kerry :

As you are aware, promoting positive cross

- border economic activity and social connections is
crucial to the United States’ role as a global leader. That is why I am writing on behalf of the East African Chamber of Commerce in support of the Open Skies agreements between th e United States and the Gulf States.

With hundreds of thousands of East Africa n s residing in the United S tates , the East Africa n Chamber of Commerce understands how important it is to promote free trade

, investments and
travel between our regions. Through our work, we aim to increase network and visibility among
East African

- owned businesses in America and foster their connection to their local communities
and our home region.

Our goals can only be accomplished, however, through easy entry and affordable ro ute s betw een the United States and East Africa. The Open Skies agreements with our member countries, including Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda and Rwanda, have facilitated access to local East African communities and helped us bring in jobs, develop businesses and promote overall commerce in this country.

We urge you to stand behind the current Open Skies agreements and preserve unrestricted access
to the United States from the Gulf States so that the citizens of that region can continue to travel
to our country a nd help foster the American economy like we do.

Sincerely,

Edwin Karuga

Appeal from the United States District Court for the District of 

South Carolina, at Beaufort. Timothy M. Cain, District Judge. 

(9:15-cv-00090-TMC)

Submitted: October 13, 2016 Decided: October 18, 2016

Appellee.

Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit.

PER CURIAM:

Robert A. Young seeks to appeal the district court’s order 

accepting the recommendation of the magistrate judge and denying 

relief on his 28 U.S.C. § 2254 (2012) petition. We dismiss the 

appeal for lack of jurisdiction because the notice of appeal was 

not timely filed.

Parties are accorded 30 days after the entry of the 

district court’s final judgment or order to note an appeal, Fed. 

R. App. P. 4(a)(1)(A), unless the district court extends the 

appeal period under Fed. R. App. P. 4(a)(5), or reopens the 

appeal period under Fed. R. App. P. 4(a)(6). “[T]he timely 

filing of a notice of appeal in a civil case is a jurisdictional 

requirement.” Bowles v. Russell, 551 U.S. 205, 214 (2007).

The district court’s order was entered on the docket on 

January 19, 2016. The notice of appeal was filed on June 11, 

2016.* Because Young failed to file a timely notice of appeal or 

to obtain an extension or reopening of the appeal period, we 

dismiss the appeal. We dispense with oral argument because the 

facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the 

 * For purposes of this appeal, we assume that the date 

appearing on the notice of appeal is the earliest date it could 

have been properly delivered to prison officials for mailing to 

the court. Fed. R. App. P. 4(c); Houston v. Lack, 487 U.S. 266

William J. Guste, Jr., Atty. Gen., Barbara Rutledge, Asst. Atty. Gen., Ossie B. Brown, Dist. Atty., Ralph L. Roy, Asst. Dist. Atty., for plaintiff-appellee.

DIXON, Justice.

Defendant was tried under an indictment charging him with murder (R.S. 14:30) and convicted of manslaughter. He was sentenced to serve twenty-one years at hard labor and appeals, relying on one perfected bill of exceptions.

Defendant reserved his only bill of exceptions when the trial court denied his *pro se*motion for a new trial. In the motion defendant alleged that he was denied his constitutional rights to confrontation and cross-examination of a witness against him when the court appointed counsel, by stipulation, allowed submission of the coroner’s autopsy report to establish cause of death of the victim in lieu of having the coroner testify personally and submit to cross-examination.

Defendant was not prejudiced by failure of the coroner to testify as to the cause of death. Eyewitness testimony established that defendant drew a gun and shot the victim after an argument concerning a card game. Ballistics established that a gun connected to the defendant fired the pellet recovered from the body of the victim.

The defendant asks us to upset a conviction because he now disagrees with one of the many tactical decisions of his lawyer.

A lawyer appointed to assist a defendant is not required to make every possible objection in a trial. An untrained, unskilled person could do that. Objections whose only result will be to slow down the trial and delay the judicial process cannot usually assist the defendant. The lawyer’s function is to assure a fair trial for the defendant under the law, not to raise every conceivable obj ection.

The ruling of the trial court was correct. This bill lacks merit.

For the reasons assigned, the conviction and sentence are affirmed.
