Presumably the appeal perfected in this cause, which is an action sounding in tort, has been abandoned; for appellant has made no appearance whatever in this court in its behalf. Under circumstances of this nature, the proper decree is one dismissing the appeal. Bridges v. Gantt, La.App., 187 So. 829, Calhoun v. Hodges, La.App., 174 So. 209, and cases therein cited.

The appeal is, therefore, dismissed at appellant's costs.
