Opinion
After a series of procedural steps in the District Court, Thompson and Hankerson, appellants here, on June 29, 1956, were granted an additional twenty days within which to file a more specific and definite complaint. The time for compliance having expired, the appellees on July 30, 1956, filed their timely motion to dismiss the original complaint. Some two months later, the appellants filed an amended complaint on October 1, 1956. Cutting through the maze, and after oral argument, the District Court, on October 3, 1956, granted the appel-lees’ motion to dismiss, and struck the appellants’ amended complaint because of their failure to comply with the earlier order of the court. We have been shown no error in the disposition of the case.
Affirmed.
