    Before the Third Division,
    January 4, 1949
    No. 52783.
    Jack Shaw v. United States,
    protest 139073-K (New York).
   Opinion by

Cline, J.

At the trial there was no appearance on the part of the plaintiff. Counsel for the Government stated that the furniture in question had been re-exported to the country of origin on April 26, 1948; that it had remained in customs custody during the entire period; that plaintiff had stated that he wished to abandon the case; and that the only thing which worried him was whether the abandonment would affect his application for drawback. Following the authorities cited in Abstract 15400 the court dismissed the protest.
