On appeal from the judgment of Justice Gerald Day of the Superior Court of Justice dated November 13, 2003.
A P P E A L B O O K E N D O R S E M E N T
1The only appeal before us today is from the order of Justice Day which dismissed in its entirety the application of the appellants for failure to post the security for costs ordered by Justice Greer.
2There is nothing in the material before us to suggest any error in the order of Justice Day. The security for costs required by Justice Greer was not provided and as a result Justice Day had no choice except to dismiss the application.
3Before us the appellants assert as they did before Justice Greer that Mrs. Li is the only lawful wife of the deceased. That is not an issue which we can address in this appeal. This appeal is confined to Justice Day’s order which was based on the failure to pay security for costs.
4The appeal must be dismissed with costs fixed at $5,000.
