Head Matter:
AMMAN v. SUR-WA STORES, Inc.
No. 4862.
Court of Appeal of Louisiana. Second Circuit.
Dec. 5, 1934.
Fink & Fink, of Monroe, for appellant
Munholland & Munholland, of Monroe, for appellee.

Opinion:
DREW, Judge.
Plaintiff instituted this suit for a monied judgment in the amount of $150.
Defendant, in answer, admitted it owed .plaintiff the sum of $95.80'.
Judgment was rendered below for the amount sued for, and defendant has perfected an appeal to this court.
Appellee has filed in this court a plea to the jurisdiction ratione materise. It is certain from the pleadings in this ease that the amount in dispute at the time of the trial below was less than $100, and was not a sufficient amount to give this court jurisdiction ratione materise. Louisiana Constitution of 1921, art. 7, § 29; West Monroe Hardware & Furniture Co. v. Munholland, 18 La. App. 255, 138 So. 195.
The plea to the jurisdiction ratione mate-rise is therefore sustained, and the appeal dismissed at appellant's cost.
