Opinion:
PER CURIAM.
In this case plaintiff alleged that defendant was indebted to plaintiff's assignors for logging equipment furnished to defendant by plaintiff's assignors. Defendant denied the indebtedness and claimed he was engaged with the alleged creditor in a joint venture. The case was tried to the court without a jury. The trial court found for plaintiff. Defendant appeals.
The evidence clearly supports the trial court's finding that a joint venture had not existed. There is nothing further for us to decide. This appeal is without merit. Affirmed.
