Head Matter:
(Reap. Dec. 9598)
American Express Company v. United States
Entry Nos. 899423; 908148.
(Decided February 19, 1960)
Plaintiff not represented by counsel.
George CocKran Doub, Assistant Attorney General, for the defendant.

Opinion:
Lawrence, Judge:
When the above-enumerated appeals for a re-appraisement were called for hearing, there was no appearance on behalf of plaintiff.
An examination of the official records discloses no reason for disturbing the presumptively correct value for the merchandise found by the appraiser.
I, therefore, find and hold the proper dutiable value of the merchandise covered by said appeals to be the value found by the appraiser.
Judgment will be entered accordingly.
