1Opinion of the Court
On Motion to Dismiss Appeal.
SOMMERVILLE, J.
[1] John B. Hall was named executor of the last will and testament of Jean Serres. His application to qualify was opposed by the widow and heirs, and the district court refused to issue a letter to him. He prosecutes a suspensive appeal from said judgment.
A full statement of the case is in 133 La. 929, 63 South. 409.
Appellees move to dismiss the appeal on the ground that the appellant has no interest in the succession, and that he cannot appeal suspensively from a judgment rejecting his application to be appointed executor under the will.
