Decision Date | 19 August 1958 |
Docket Number | 8 Div. 172 |
Citation | 104 So.2d 782,39 Ala.App. 525 |
Parties | DEPARTMENT OF INDUSTRIAL RELATIONS v. Marie D. SIMMS. |
Court | Alabama Court of Appeals |
J. Eugene Foster and Richard S. Brooks, Montgomery, for appellant.
Thos. C. Pettus, Moulton, for appellee.
Counsel for appellee has filed a motion to dismiss this appeal, and to affirm the judgment on the grounds:
1. That the transcript does not contain a certificate that appellant has served appellee with a copy of the assignment of errors.
2. That no copy of appellant's assignment of errors was, or has been, served upon appellee or her counsel.
3. That no assignment of error was bound with the transcript which is on file with the circuit clerk below, or in the copy of the transcript which was delivered to counsel for appellee.
Supreme Court Rule 1, Code 1940, Tit. 7 Appendix, provides that:
'Such assignments shall be written or typed upon transcript paper and bound with the transcript, and shall bear the certificate of the appellant, or his counsel, that a copy of the same has been served upon the appellee or his counsel.'
The motion filed by counsel for appellee is sworn to, and therefore must be taken as true. No reply to the motion has been filed.

No waiver of the requirement is present in this case, since appellee has timely filed his motion to dismiss, and in his brief to the merits specifically sets forth that by filing the brief appellee is not waiving her motion to dismiss the appeal.

Cockrell, Ala.App., 132 So.2d 736, this court, in an opinion prepared by Price, J., concluded that it would not strike appellant's assignment of errors because of the absence of a certificate of service upon appellee, where it was shown in the answer to the motion that a copy of the assignments of error had been bound in record delivered to counsel for appellee some six weeks prior to the filing of appellee's brief in which appellee joined issue on each error assigned.
