Before GLADNEY, AYRES and PRICE, JJ.

Opinion:
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.
