GALLUCHAT v. PITTMAN et al.

No. 2033.

United States Court of Appeals, Fourth Circuit.

February 6, 1923

Appeal from the District Court of the United States for the Eastern District of South Carolina, at Charleston; Henry A. Middleton Smith, Judge.

Suit in equity by Minnie M. Galluchat, administratrix of the estate of M. C. Galluchat, deceased, substituted complainant, against Robert H. Pittman, Thomas Hume, and the Michigan Trust Company, executors and trustees of the estate of Charles H. Hackley, deceased. Decree for defendants (288 F. 917), and complainant appeals. Affirmed.

G. T. Graham, of Lexington, S.C., and Barnard B. Evans, of Columbia, S.C. (John Gary Evans, of Spartanburg, S.C., on the brief), for appellant.

Henry Buist, of Charleston, S.C. (George L. Buist, of Charleston, S.C., on the brief), for appellees.

Before WOODS and WADDILL, Circuit Judges, and ROSE, District Judge.

PER CURIAM.

The reasoning of the District Judge in his decree refusing to remand the case to the state court, and in the final decree dismissing the complaint on the merits, is so full and convincing that nothing of substance can be added. Colleton Mercantile & Manufacturing Co. v. Savannah River Lumber Co., 280 F. 358, decided by this court since the trial, supports the District Judge in refusing to remand the cause.

Affirmed.
