Appellees move to dismiss this appeal on the ground that Beecher has failed to take the proper steps to perfect it. No statement of points has been filed. Rule 17(6) requires that the statement of points be filed “upon the filing of the record in this court”. In view of the already unwarranted prolongation of this litigation, see Beecher v. Leavenworth State Bank, 9 Cir., 209 F.2d 20, 21, certiorari denied 347 U.S. 949, 74 S.Ct. 649, the motion to dismiss is granted.
