Head Matter:
(C.D. 2873)
W. G. Kauders & Co., Inc. v. United States
United States Customs Court, First Division
(Decided January 23, 1967)
Plaintiff not represented by counsel.
Barefoot Sanders, Assistant Attorney General, for the defendant.
Before Oliver, Watson, and Bao, Judges

Opinion:
Eao, Chief Judge:
When this case was called for trial there was no appearance by or on behalf of plaintiff although due notice as to time and place of trial had been given. The defendant moved to dismiss the action for want ox prosecution.
It appears from the official papers that this entry was liquidated on March 20,1964, but that the protest was not filed until May 21, 1964, a date exceeding the statutory limit of 60 days allotted for the filing of a protest in section 514 of the Tariff Act of 1930. Consequently, this protest is untimely. Therefore, while defendant's motion to dismiss for lack of prosecution is denied, the protest is dismissed as untimely.
Judgment will be entered accordingly.
