Smith v. Atkins

PONDER, Justice. The plaintiff, -appellee, moves to di-s-miss the -appeal in thi-s e-ase -on the -ground -that the transcript is incomplete. An appeal will -not be -dismissed without first -allowing the appellant time to complete -the transcript -in -compliance with the provisions of Act 234 of 1932. Upon submission of the motion to dismiss the appeal, the appellant has filed a supplemental transcript -containing the documents -that the -appellee claims were left out of the transcript. On three prior occasions we have entertained -controversies between the parties -to this suit involving the property in -dispute herein. See Atkins v. Smith, 204 La. 468 , 15 So. 2d 855 ; Atkins v. Smith, 207 La. 560 , 21 So.2d 728 -and Smith v. Atkin-s, 211 La. 369 , 30 So.2d 121 . It was not necessary to incorporate in the transcript a -copy of our opinions in those cases or portions of ou-r records -in the prior suits because we can take cognizance of our -own -records. For the reasons assigned, the motion is denied. O’NIELL, C. J., takes no -part.
