Pratt v. Corporation of Bastrop
Supreme Court of Louisiana · Decided December 14, 1914 · Sommertille
136 La. 271; 66 So. 969; 1914 La. LEXIS 1939

Pratt v. Corporation of Bastrop

Opinion of the Court

SOMMERTILLE, J.

This is an appeal, taken by third persons, from a judgment to which they were not parties.

The failure to cite, or to demand citation of, the plaintiff, is fatal to the appeal. This court has no power to revise judgments of inferior- tribunals where the parties thereto are not before it. State v. Wickliffe, 21 La. Ann. 755; Escoubas v. Calcasieu Suipkur Mining Co., 33 La. Ann. 484. It is unnecessary to consider other grounds assigned in the motion to dismiss.

Appeal dismissed.
