L. L. MAUNEY et al., D/B/A L. L. Mauney Realty Company, Appellants, v. Roscoe MITCHELL, D/B/A Corbin Concrete Block Company, et al., Appellees.
Court of Appeals of Kentucky.
May 15, 1959.
Calvert C. Little, London, for appellants.
Joe S. Feather, B. B. Snyder, Williams-burg, for appellees.

Opinion:
PER CURIAM.
Appellants have moved for an appeal from certain orders entered by the Whitley Circuit Court in a receivership proceed ing. The orders declared void an attempted auction sale of the receivership property and denied appellants' $1870 claim for a real estate commission on such sale.
Clearly the action of the court was proper, since the receiver had no semblance of authority to make this sale or enter into the contract with appellants. See 45 Am. Jur., Receivers, § 175 (page 145) ; 75 C.J.S. Receivers § 222, p. 858.
The motion for appeal is denied, and the orders stand affirmed.
