CAMERON, Chief Judge
(dissenting) :
As the majority opinion indicates, a motion to -dismiss for want of prosecution was filed by defendant-appellee on 21 July 1965 and was denied by the court. . We may assume the denial of the motion at ■ that *470time was not an abuse of the court’s discretion.
Thereafter, the file discloses no failure on the part of the plaintiff-appellant to diligently proceed with the matter. Under these circumstances I feel that the granting of defendant’s motion on 5 January 1966 to dismiss for lack of prosecution was an abuse of the court’s discretion.
