    Jerome Friedman, Metairie, for defendant and appellant.
    Before COVINGTON, LOTTINGER and COLE, JJ.
   COLE, Judge.

This appeal was fixed for argument and all attorneys of record were notified. At the time scheduled for argument, the appellant was not present or represented, nor had any brief been filed on behalf of appellant, nor had any motion been filed for continuance.

On authority of Rule VII, Section 5(b), this Court ex proprio motu, considers this appeal as abandoned; therefore, it is ordered that this appeal be dismissed with prejudice.

APPEAL DISMISSED.
