391 F.2d 934, 1968 U.S. App. LEXIS 7410

Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit·Decided April 8, 1968·No. 24699·Published

Opinion

PER CURIAM:

The appellant complains of two orders of the United States District Court for the Southern District of Mississippi. The first order is dated March 15, 1967, and dismissed the appellant’s ease without prejudice “for want of prosecution on the part of the plaintiff.” The second order is dated June 14, 1967, and it denied the appellant’s motion under Rule 60(b) (1) F.R.Civ.P. to vacate the order of dismissal. The appellant appealed from both orders, but the appeals were consolidated in this court.

It is our opinion that the District Court did not abuse its discretion in entering said orders. The judgment is affirmed.
