OPINION

PER CURIAM.

This appeal having been dismissed, upon the motion of the appellants, as to all the appellees except the Pittsburgh, Cincinnati, Chicago & St. Louis Railway Company, a motion to dismiss the appeal has been presented by that company. In the assignment of errors the specifications are like those which we held to be not sufficient to present any question in Spitzer v. Miller (1905), 35 Ind.App. 116, 73 N.E. 833. It is claimed on behalf of the appellants that this motion of the sole remaining appellee to dismiss comes too late, inasmuch as a long period has elapsed since the submission of the cause in this court, and after the time for the filing of a brief for such appellee on the merits; but, the assignment of errors being so defective as not to present any question upon the merits, the appeal upon final hearing would be dismissed by the court without any motion therefor. Therefore there has been no waiver of the right of such appellee to the dismissal.

Appeal dismissed.
