Heading: The Depositions

Text: 28 One other point requires mention. Plaintiff's brief cites depositions of herself and her husband which were not filed in the District Court until after her notice of appeal was filed. The government maintains that these depositions are not properly before us, but asks us to consider certain portions favorable to the government if we decide that the depositions are part of the record. 5 These depositions cannot be considered on appeal, because they were not before the District Court at the time of its ruling. Union Asbestos & Rubber Co. v. Evans Products Co., 328 F.2d 949, 950 n.4 (7th Cir. 1964); Dictograph Products Co. v. Sonotone Corp., 231 F.2d 867 (2d Cir.), cert. dismissed, 352 U.S. 883, 77 S.Ct. 104, 1 L.Ed.2d 82 (1956); Jaconski v. Avisun Corp., 359 F.2d 931, 936 n.11 (3d Cir. 1966). 29 Because material issues of fact remain to be tried, the summary judgment against plaintiff must be reversed and the case remanded. As we noted earlier, the government filed a third-party complaint against plaintiff's husband and took a protective appeal from its dismissal. The judgment against the government on its third-party complaint is reversed insofar as it relates to the claim for the 1968 joint taxes. 30 Affirmed in part; reversed in part.
