131 F.2d 236 | D.D.C. | 1942
This appeal grows out of Canelacos v. Hollway, No. 7800, 75 U.S.App.D. C. 58, 123 F.2d 934, 138 A.L.R. 1010. Appellant Camp petitioned for a rehearing on the ground that she was not in default at the time of the foreclosure sale. We denied her petition, on the ground that she had not argued the question of default on the appeal. The District Court entered its judgment in accordance with our mandate. Appellant now appeals from that judgment, and contends that she did in fact argue, on the prior appeal, that she was not in default. This contention is erroneous. Although her brief on that appeal stated as a fact that her answer to the complaint had denied default, the argument in the brief entirely ignored, and so abandoned, that denial. Moreover, appellant’s contention comes too late. The matter is concluded by our decision in No. 7800. Cf. Mackall v. Willoughby, 6 App.D.C. 125. But we do not agree with appellee’s contention that this appeal is taken merely for delay and entitles appellee to double costs, etc., under our Rule 23.
Affirmed.
