Summary of this case from Padgett v. SnyderOpinion
Order Entered June 14, 1938.
An appeal from the Circuit Court for Pinellas County, John U. Bird, Judge.
Carey Harrison, for Plaintiff in Error:
No appearance contra.
We are advised that the defendant in error departed this life on March 26th, 1938.
This is a personal action and, therefore, the legal representatives of the deceased should be substituted.
It is, therefore, ordered that Plaintiff in Error proceed to accomplish proper substitution of party defendant in error.
So ordered.
