86 Fla. 251 | Fla. | 1923
The following is the entry of appeal, as shown by the record forwarded to this Court:
“James Macgibbon, Clerk Circuit Court, Pensacola, Fla.
“You will please dismiss present appeal in case A. Booske versus George Lessic, et al., and you will please
“Kent and Beswell.”
There is a motion by counsel for appellee, on special appearance for that purpose, to dismiss the appeal. Among the grounds upon which the dismissal is sought are: first, that the notice of the appeal refers to the parties as A. Booske versus George Lessic, et al., whereas in fact, as shown by the record, the parties to the suit are A. Booske versus George Messic, Clarence Griggs Floyd and Edith Messic, et al.; second, that said appeal is ineffective because it is a second appeal, the record showing an undisposed of former appeal in the case.
In the final decree and anterior proceedings the parties are A. Booske, complainant, versus George Messic, Clarence Griggs Floyd, a minor, and "William Floyd, his guardian ad litem, and Edith Messic, a minor, and Earl Hoffman, her guardian ad litem. There is nothing in the record -to indicate the identity of George Lessic, et al., on behalf of Clarence Griggs Floyd, a minor, named in the purported entry of appeal as appellants, with George Messic, Clarence Griggs Floyd, a minor, and William Floyd, his guardian, ad litem, and Edith Messic, a minor, and Earl Hoffman, her guardian ad litem, respondents in the court below. Because of this variance the notice of appeal is defective and insufficient to give this court jurisdiction of the parties. Furthermore, if this error had not been made and the appeal should be regarded as having been made by
Dismissed.
