Opinion of the Court
delivered the opinion of the court.
In this case the appellants having failed to cause citation to issue, the defendant and appellee has moved for the dismissal of the appeal.

It is the duty of the appellant to see that the necessary steps are taken which are required by law to bring up his appeal and place it legally before this court.

It is, therefore, ordered that this appeal be dismissed, with costs.
