130 Ind. App. 501 | Ind. Ct. App. | 1960
This is an appeal from a judgment of the Lake Circuit Court which sustained a demurrer to
Appellants filed their purported assignment of errors and transcript on the 3rd day of February, 1960, together with appellants’ brief.
Appellees have filed a motion to dismiss or in the alternative that the judgment below be affirmed. One of the grounds set forth is that the assignment of errors and transcript are defective.
We find that the purported transcript contains no marginal notes with the exception of one page, which notes are required by Supreme Court Rule 2-5. The Clerk’s Certificate attached to the transcript is signed by the Clerk of the Lake Circuit Court, but is not dated. The first page of the purported transcript is apparently a title page, with a list of names of persons, designated as appellants, against the City of Ham.mond, Indiana, The Board of Zoning Appeals of Hammond, the individuals named as members of The Board of Zoning Appeals, a,nd one Fred Slathar, who are designated as appellees.
The second page of the purported transcript sets forth the assignment of errors as follows:
*503 “IN THE APPELLATE COURT OF INDIANA
CAUSE NO. 19451
“ROMAN J. BARLOG, et al. ' Appellants -vs-“CITY OF HAMMOND, INDIANA, et al, Appellee
ASSIGNMENT ' OF ERRORS
“The Appellant avers that there is manifest error in the Judgment and proceedings in this Cause, which is prejudicial to Appellant, in this:
“1. That the court erred in sustaining defendant-Appellee’s demurrer to plaintiff’s petition for Writ of Certiorari.
“2. That the court erred in sustaining defendant-Appellee’s demurrer to plaintiff’s petition for Writ of Certiorari and in rendering judgment against the plaintiff-Appellant upon their failure to plead further.
“Eugene D. Tyler
“EUGENE D. TYLER
“Attorney for Appellants
“5305 Hohman Avenue, Suite 505
“Hammond, Indiana”
Rule 2-6 of the Supreme Court reads in part as follows:
“In the title to the assignment of errors all parties to the judgment seeking relief by the appeal shall be named as appellants, and all parties to the judgment whose interests are adverse to the interests of the appellant shall be named as appellees.”
We have often stated that the assignment of errors constitutes the complaint by the appellants in this court.
Appeal dismissed.
