Gray v. J. Leo Kolb Co.

Municipal Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia
Apr 14, 1960
160 A.2d 99 (D.C. 1960)

Opinion

No. 2527.

Argued February 29, 1960.

Decided April 14, 1960.

APPEAL FROM MUNICIPAL COURT FOR THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA, CIVIL DIVISION, JOHN H. BURNETT, J.

Jerrold Scoutt, Jr., Washington, D.C., for appellants.

Mark P. Friedlander, Washington, D.C., Mark P. Friedlander, Jr., and Blaine P. Friedlander, Washington, D.C., on the brief, for appellees.

Before ROVER, Chief Judge, and HOOD and QUINN, Associate Judges.


This appeal is from a judgment for the appellees following a trial finding by the court in their favor.

Appellants have failed to file either a statement of proceedings and evidence or a transcript of the trial testimony [our Rule 21(f)]. It was incumbent on them to furnish us with a sufficient record to enable us to pass on the error of law assigned; absent such a record we have no way of determining whether the court was correct or not. Consequently we have no discretion except to affirm.

Levene v. Oliver, D.C.Mun.App., 158 A.2d 324; Courembis v. Morfessis, D.C.Mun.App., 142 A.2d 517.

It is so ordered.
