Johnson v. Danielson
Opinion
Lead Opinion
We have heard two motions to dismiss the appeal in the above-entitled case. This order is in response to the second. On July 26, 1961, appellant Dorothy Johnson filed her notice of appeal from a judgment of the district court in this Bankruptcy proceeding. On the hearing of the first motion, appellee urged as one ground of dismissal the failure of appellant Johnson to file a cost bond. On August 9, 1961, this court made and entered its order denying the motion to dismiss and further ordered appellant Johnson to file a cost bond within ten days therefrom. Appellee in its second motion urges that the cost bond was not filed within the ten days required by the previous order, and further that appellant failed to file with this court a transcript of record within the forty day period provided for by F.R.Civ.P. 73(g), 28 U.S.C.A. Not only has there been a failure to file a transcript, but in answer to a question from the bench, appellant’s counsel admitted that he had in fact not yet even ordered a transcript for transmission to this court.
We are moved to act upon the failure of appellant to comply with the order and with the failure to comply with Rule 73(g) with more strictness…
