Opinion of the Court

Howell, J.

Appellant was sued as endorser of a note, on which judgment, confirming a default, was rendered against him, upon evidence in the record, consisting of the note, protest and notices of protest.

He has assigned no error nor furnished a brief.

Plaintiff, in his brief, asks for the affirmance of the judgment, with damages for a frivolous appeal.

Having filed no answer to the appeal, as required by Art. 890 C. P., no damages can be awarded. Counsel’s brief is not considered an answer, 4 A. 150; 5 A. 146; 8 A. 73.

Judgment affirmed, with costs.
