Dausman, J.

Appellee, Adelbert S. Benson, in his capacity as trustee for a number of interested persons, instituted this action against appellant, Charles J. Gardner, to recover damages for breach of contract. Judgment against Gardner and in favor of Adelbert S. Benson, trustee. By the assignment of error Adelbert S. Benson was made a party on appeal in his individual capacity, and not in his capacity as trustee. The transcript was filed March 3, 1917, before the act entitled “An Act Concerning Civil Procedure,” Acts 1917 p. 523, became effective; and that fact alone is a sufficient reason for holding that §3 of said act does not apply to *701this case. Appellee filed a motion to dismiss on July 18, 1917, at which time more than 180 days had elapsed since the rendition of the judgment and the overruling of the motion for a new trial.

Under the ruling of the Supreme Court in Milburn v. Cory (1915), 184 Ind. 341, 110 N. E. 193, the motion to dismiss must be sustained.

Appeal dismissed.

Note. — Reported in 117 N. E. 655.
