Notice of appeal from a judgment of the circuit court of Lyman county, entered July 7, 1922, was filed in this court’ September 14, 1922. Undertaking on appeal 'was filed here on October 26, 1922. Five stipulations extending the time in which appellant might serve and file his brief have been filed in this court from time to time. The last stiuplation extended the time of January 2, 1923, and was filed1 in this court December itth, 1922. No settled record or notice of the completion of such settled record appears in any of the papers of this case.
Rule five of this court provides as follows:
“In all civil cases the appellant shall, within thirty days after notice of appeal, unless the settled record has not at the time of notice of appeal, been completed, and, in the latter case, within thirty days after completion of the settled record,” etc.
The last two clauses above quoted were not intended to extend the time for serving and filing briefs indefinitely or at all beyond’ the time actually necessary to settle a record by prompt and vigorous action. We therefore hold that, the appellant having called to complete his settled record or to comply with rules 5, 6, 7,, and 13 of this court, this appeal is deemed abandoned, and the judgment of the lower court is affirmed.
