Fletcher v. Young

THOMSEN, District Judge.

Plaintiff has moved “the Court ex parte for an order reducing the statutory penalty” of the bond on appeal “on the ground that the original papers in this action are now on file on appeal in the United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit, without additional costs thereon, and all docket fees in that Court have been fully paid”. I set a time for hearing this motion and notified the plaintiff and counsel for the defendants. Counsel for the defendants appeared and argued in opposition to the motion, and the plaintiff has submitted a letter setting out his views.
