DIPPLE v. PITTSBURGH

Appeals — Timeliness — Quashing.

An appeal from an order of the court below which is not taken within three calendar months, as prescribed by statute, will be quashed by the appellate court of its own motion.

OPINION PER CURIAM, April 13, 1953:

The appeal in this case was not taken within three calendar months, as prescribed by statute, after the order of the court below was entered. Therefore, lacking jurisdiction, we are obliged to quash the appeal of our own motion, which we do the less reluctantly because of the satisfactory disposition by Judge MARSHALL, speaking for the court en banc, of the questions submitted to the court in the case stated.

Appeal quashed.
