AI Generated Summary

This case involves an appeal that was dismissed after the appellant abandoned all grounds of appeal. The appellant had initially sought to argue an additional ground, which was disallowed upon objection. After abandoning all other grounds and stating he had nothing more to say, the appeal was dismissed. The appellant later contended that the dismissal was against the weight of the evidence. The court found this contention to be without merit, as the issue could not arise after the appellant had effectively abandoned the appeal. The court emphasized that once an appeal is abandoned, the appellant cannot later claim that its dismissal was against the weight of evidence. Consequently, the appeal was dismissed.
