1Opinion of the Court
WICKER, Judge.
Fidelity and Deposit Company of Maryland appeals a judgment rendered against it and in favor of Massey-Ferguson, Inc. on Fidelity’s suspensive appeal bond. We affirm.
Fidelity’s liability is based upon the case of Texas Bank of Beaumont v. Bozorg, and the issue in that case was the ranking of competing mortgages held by Texas Bank and Massey-Ferguson. On April 19, 1982, the judge ruled in favor of Massey-Ferguson; and Texas Bank filed a suspen-sive appeal. Fidelity is the surety on the May 26, 1982, appeal bond.
The Fifth Circuit reversed on January 10, 1984. 444 So.2d 698…
