Patrick R. Taylor, Taylor & McCain, Martinsville, for appellant.
Theodore L. Locke, Jr., Locke, Reynolds, Boyd & Weisell, Edwin J. Bunny, Indianapolis, for appellee.
ON APPELLEE'S MOTION TO DISMISS APPEAL
This attempted appeal is from a negative award of the Industrial Board, and is pending before the Court on the appellee's Motion to Dismiss Appeal, which alleges as cause therefor that the record does not contain an assignment of errors. We have examined every page of the record herein and find that appellee's allegation is true.
The same problem was presented to the Court in the case of Slinkard v. Extruded Alloys (1971), Ind.App., 277 N.E.2d 176. In that case the Court stated:
The holding of the Slinkard case, and the prior cases upon which it was based, control our disposition of this case. This Court always prefers to decide cases on their merits when it is possible to do so. But when, as in this case, the appellant fails to invoke the jurisdiction of the Court, we can only dismiss the attempted appeal.
The appellee's Motion to Dismiss is sustained, and this cause is dismissed.
