When this case was called for argument, appellant, John E. Love, neither appeared nor did he file a brief in support of his appeal. Consequently, he is presumed to have abandoned it. See Grand Lodge of the State of Louisiana, Knights of Pythias, v. Natchitoches Lodge, 215 La. 300, 40 So.2d 472; Core Bros. v. F. J. J. Sloat Dredging Co., 220 La. 169, 55 So.2d 904, and cases there cited.

The appeal is dismissed.
