U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit · Decided May 16, 1973 · Thornberry, Goldberg, Roney
480 F.2d 613; 1973 U.S. App. LEXIS 9918 (Federal Reporter, Second Series)

Joe G. Murrah Et Ux. v. Fire Insurance Exchange

Opinion

PER CURIAM:

After this action on a fire insurance policy had been pending for fifteen months, plaintiff failed to have representation at a pretrial conference, the Court having granted an earlier motion for the withdrawal of counsel. The Court ordered that the case would be dismissed at a time certain unless prior thereto the plaintiffs showed good cause why the case should not be dismissed. No cause was shown. The case was dismissed for want of prosecution. We find no abuse of discretion on the part of the trial court.

Affirmed.
