Full opinion text

PER CURIAM.

This is an appeal from an order of the District Court dismissing a complaint in a civil action. The question is whether under Section 101, Title 12, of the District of Columbia Code (1951), a right of action for libel survives the death of the alleged libelee. We agree with the District Court that it does not.

Affirmed.

. 31 Stat. 1227 (1901), amended, 62 Stab 487 (1948).
