APPEAL FROM TWENTY-SIXTH JUDICIAL DISTRICT COURT, PARISH OF BOSSIER, STATE OF LOUISIANA, HONORABLE O.E. PRICE, J.
Holloway Baker, Jonesboro, for appellants.
Bodenheimer, Looney, Richie Jones, Shreveport, for defendant Central Mutual Ins. Co.
Davenport, Farr Kelly, Monroe, for Hesco Sales Co., Inc. and Hartford Accident Indemnity Co.
Before HARDY, GLADNEY and AYRES, JJ.
These suits were consolidated for purposes of trial and appeal. The first action is in tort by plaintiffs, husband and wife, seeking recovery for personal injuries and property damages from the defendants, and the second action is a compensation claim by the plaintiff against his employer and its insurer. From judgment in each case rejecting plaintiffs' demands, they perfected devolutive appeals to this Court.
The appellants in these cases neither appeared nor filed briefs prior to the date fixed for submission of their appeals, and, accordingly,
IT IS ORDERED by the Court, ex proprio motu, that these appeals be and they are dismissed at appellants' cost. (Uniform Rules, Courts of Appeal, Rule VII, Section 4(b), 8 LSA-Rw.S.).
