No. 15,866.Supreme Court of Colorado.
Decided March 10, 1947. Rehearing denied March 27, 1947.
On motion, to dismiss writ of error.
Motion Granted
1. APPEAL AND ERROR — Dismissals. Where a writ of error is issued involving the same case in which a similar writ was previously issued, the latter still pending, on motion the second writ will be dismissed.
Error to the District Court of the City and County of Denver, Hon. William A. Black, Judge.
Mr. BERNARD M. SHOTKIN, pro se, Mr. ROBERT E. HOLLAND, for plaintiff in error.
Mr. ISAAC MELLMAN, for defendant in error.En Banc.
PER CURIAM.
ON motion to dismiss writ of error which was issued February 14, 1947, for that, as said, the writ here involves the same case, identified as number 15838, in which writ of error was issued December 27, 1946, and still is pending. That identity attends clearly appears, indeed, in plaintiff in error’s letter of transmission of papers pertaining to his praecipe for the writ in the instant case, he refers to the matter as a “new appeal.” We cannot think justification attends the issuance of the second writ of error.

In fairness to Mr. Holland, appearing as counsel for plaintiff in error in opposition to the motion of defendants in error to dismiss, we mention that he did not represent plaintiff in error when the latter secured the writ of error. Until the motion to dismiss that writ was interposed, plaintiff in error appeared pro se.
Let the motion be granted.
