. An appeal will -not he dismissed without first allowing the appellant time to complete -the -transcript -in -compliance with th-e 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 -ap-pell-ee claims were left out of the transcript. On three prior occasions we ha-v-e 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.

It w-as not necessary -to incorporate in the transcript a co-py -of -our opinions in those -cases or portions of ou-r records -in th-e prior -suits -because we can take -cognizance of -our -own -records.

For the reasons assigned, the motion is denied.
