BOARD OF COUNTY COM'RS OF OSAGE COUNTY, OKL., ET AL.
v.
UNITED STATES
This is an appeal from a.decree canceling certain assessments made by Osage County against lands of members of the Osage Tribe of Indians, which lands are exempt from state taxation (United States v. Mullendore (C. C. A. 8) 35 F.(2d) 78); enjoining assessment of such lands in the future; and awarding recovery against the county for taxes, illegally collected on such void assessments, payments of which were made under compulsion.
The appeal was granted April 4, 1932. The assignment of errors was not filed until April 8, 1932. This was a plain violation of Rule 111 of this court. The United States has moved to dismiss on that ground. The motion should be granted, unless there is a plain and serious error which the court should notice without an assignment thereof. Reed v. Anderson (C. C. A. 8) 236 F. 345; Willamette & Columbia River Towing Co. v. Hutchison (C. C. A. 9) 236 F. 908; Columbia Heights Realty Co. v. Rudolph, 217 U. S. 547, 551, 30 S. Ct. 581, 54 L. Ed. 877, 19 Ann. Cas. 854; United States v. Tennessee & C. R. Co., 176 U. S. 242, 256, 20 S. Ct. 370, 44 L. Ed. 452.
The only defense interposed in the instant ease was the failure of the United States to comply with the provisions of the state statute by paying tbe alleged illegal tax and to sue to recover tbe same within the time limited by state law. That this constitutes no defense in such a ease was held by the Supreme Court in United States v. Board of County Com’rs of Osage County, Okl., 251 U. S. 128, 133, 40 S. Ct. 100, 64 L. Ed. 184; Ward v. Love County, Okl., 253 U. S. 17, 24, 40 S. Ct. 419, 64 L. Ed. 751; and Carpenter v. Shaw, 280 U. S. 363, 369, 50 S. Ct. 121, 74 L. Ed. 478.
There being no plain error apparent on the record, the appeal is dismissed.
