422 F.2d 1247
Jewel G. BEREND, Plaintiff-Appellant,v.J. F. PRITCHARD & COMPANY et al., Defendants-Appellees.
No. 28651 Summary Calendar.
United States Court of Appeals, Fifth Circuit.
March 9, 1970.

Jewel G. Berend, pro se.
Beale Dean, Brown, Herman, Scott, Young & Dean, J. Shelby Sharpe, Crumley Murphy & Shrull, William M. Murphy, Fort Worth, Tex., Dietrich, Tyler, Davis, Burrel & Dicus, Kansas City, Mo., for defendants-appellees.
Before JOHN R. BROWN, Chief Judge, and MORGAN and CLARK, Circuit judges.
PER CURIAM:


1
Pursuant to Rule 18 of the Rules of this Court, we have concluded on the merits that this case is of such character as not to justify oral argument and have directed the clerk to place the case on the Summary Calendar and to notify the parties in writing.  See Murphy v. Houma Well Service, 5 Cir., 1969, 409 F.2d 804, Part I; and Huth v. Southern Pacific Company, 5 Cir., 1969, 417 F.2d 526, Part I.


2
The nature of this cause is some-what obscure, but it appears to be one in tort for conversion of property or possibly breach of contract.  The complaint here contains no allegation of fact showing any legal right which belonged to complainant and which the appellees breached, with damages resulting therefrom.  Under the most liberal interpretation of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, the appellant failed to allege a cause of action against appellees.  Dorsey v. State Farm Insurance Co., 5 Cir., 1961,294 F.2d 678.


3
However, assuming a cause of action once existed and was alleged, the complainant waited fifteen years-- from 1954 to 1969-- to bring his action, and Texas Statutes of Limitations, Article 5526 and Article 5527,1 Vernon's Annotated Texas Civil Statutes, would prevent recovery.


4
The District Court did not err in dismissing the actions.


5
Judgment affirmed.



1

3

Acts 1841, p. 163; P.D. 4604; G.L. vol. 2, p. 627
