Supreme Court of Louisiana
Decided December 14, 1914No. 20044PublishedCited by 1 opinion
Appeal from Sixth Judicial District Court, Parish of Morehouse; J. P. Madison, Judge. Action by Frank B. Pratt against Corporation of Tillage of Bastrop, Louisiana. From the judgment, third persons appeal. On motion to dismiss appeal.
1Opinion of the CourtSommertille, J.
This is an appeal, taken by third persons, from a judgment to which they were not parties.
The failure to cite, or to demand citation of, the plaintiff, is fatal to the appeal. This court has no power to revise judgments of inferior- tribunals where the parties thereto are not before it. State v. Wickliffe, 21 La. Ann. 755; Escoubas v. Calcasieu Suipkur Mining Co., 33 La. Ann. 484. It is unnecessary to consider other grounds assigned in the motion to dismiss.
Appeal dismissed.
