Grace Lowe v. Glenn A. Willacy
Grace LOWE, Appellant, v. Glenn A. WILLACY, Appellee
Opinion
PER CURIAM.
This is a frivolous appeal. The complaint sought damages against appellee, the surety of a duly qualified commissioner for Alaska, having jurisdiction over the administration of the estate of a deceased person. 3 A.C.L.A.1949, §§ 61-1-1, 61-1-5. The damages claimed *180 were for time consumed by appellant in attending hearings before the commissioner upon a subpoena she claimed was issued without statutory authority.
It is obvious that since the commissioner is charged with mere error in administering a matter under her jurisdiction no liability exists against her. Bradley v. Fisher, 1871, 13 Wall. 335, 351 , 80 U.S. 335 , 20 L.Ed. 646 .
Since appellant by her own act has forced appellee to consider her brief and thereby necessarily to write his opposing brief, in affirming we adjudge to appellee just damages for his delay, 28 U.S.C. § 1912 , of double his costs and an amount equal to the fee paid his attorney for his services in the appeal and the amount paid for the printing of his brief, the two latter amounts to be shown by ap-pellee’s affidavit filed with the Clerk of this court. ' The judgment of the district court is affirmed and the Clerk ordered to enter our judgment for the delay upon showing of appellee’s affidavit.
