HAMITER, Justice.

The presumption is that this appeal has been abandoned, the appellant (Roy G.

Therefore, it must and will be dismissed. See Core Brothers v. F. J. J. Sloat Dredging Company, 220 La. 169, 55 So.2d 904, Peace v. Love, 223 La. 772, 66 So.2d 803, and the numerous cases therein cited. • -

The appeal is dismissed.
