United States v. Phillips, 121 U.S. 254 (1887) United States v. Phillips Argued April 4, 1887 Decided April 11, 1887 121 U.S. 254 ERROR TO THE CIRCUIT COURT OF THE UNITED STATES FOR THE WESTERN DISTRICT OF TEXAS Syllabus Notice of a writ of error, given in open court at the same term the judgment is rendered, is not the equivalent of citation. The case is stated in the opinion of the court. MR. CHIEF JUSTICE WAITE delivered the opinion of the Court. In this case, no citation was ever issued, and the defendants in error do not appear. Notice of a writ of error, given in open court at the same term the judgment is rendered, is not the equivalent of the citation required by § 999 of the Revised Statutes. In this respect, writs of error differ from appeals taken in open court. The writ of error is dismissed.
