Defendants filed a motion for judgment on the pleadings which was sustained by the trial court, resulting in this appeal.
A motion to dismiss has been filed because the appeal is without merit and for the further reason that the record discloses that there is no issue between the pláintiff and defendants that has -¡sat beretofoi-e been determined. We are of the opinion that this contention is correct and that the judgment of the trial court should be affirmed.
This adjudication was final as to any rights plaintiff may have had in the property and the record now discloses that plaintiff’s rights asserted in the appeal have heretofore been determined.
The order of the trial court sustaining the motion for judgment on the pleadings is affirmed.
