AYRES, Judge.

When this case was called for argument neither appellant nor appellee appeared or filed a brief. The general rule is that where an appellant neither appears, when his case is called for argument, nor files a brief the appeal will be presumed abandoned. Wyatt v. Wyatt, 232 La. 467, 94 So.2d 439 (Case 1); Core Bros. v. F. J. J. Sloat Dredging Co., 220 La. 169, 55 So.2d 904; Daunis v. Maryland Casualty Co., La.App., 115 So.2d 225.

Accordingly, the appeal is dismissed.
