        "text": "CARMODY, Justice.\nAppellants (defendants below) seek to reverse a decree in a suit to quiet title rendered by the trial court in favor of the appellee (plaintiff below).\nThe facts need not be related, because of our disposition of the appeal based upon the appellants\u2019 brief.\nIn the brief, the statement of the case is not confined to the nature of the proceeding and the disposition made by the trial court, but includes many statements of fact and conclusions drawn by appellants. The statement of facts relates almost entirely to appellants\u2019 view of the evidence, and completely omits any reference to the findings and conclusions of the trial court. Following the statement of facts, appellants then, under the heading of \u201cAssignment of Errors,\u201d state the following:\n\u201cThe Court erred in refusing to make defendants-appellants\u2019 Requested Findings of Fact Nos. 1 to 36 inclusive, which are as follows\nAll that appears thereafter is approximately ten pages consisting only of appellants\u2019 requested findings.\nThe complete failure to follow proper appellate practice and procedure is determinative of this appeal. Supreme Court Rule 15, subds. 6 and 14 (\u00a7 21-2-1 (15), subds. 6 and 14, N.M.S.A., 1953). (1) The point relied upon does not submit an issue for our determination. See, Lea County Fair Ass\u2019n v. Elkan, 1948, 52 N.M. 250, 197 P.2d 228; Gonzales v. Richards, 1949, 53 N.M. 231, 205 P.2d 214; Lord v. City of Santa Fe, 1950, 54 N.M. 244, 220 P.2d 709; Gibbs v. Whelan, 1952, 56 N.M. 38, 239 P.2d 727; and Chavez v. Potter, 1954, 58 N.M. 662, 274 P.2d 308. (2) There is no attack on the findings, direct or otherwise, and appellants do not raise the question of the sufficiency of the evidence to support the findings. Therefore, the trial court\u2019s findings are conclusive on appeal. Witherspoon v. Brummett, 1946, 50 N.M. 303, 176 P.2d 187; Wester v. Trailmobile Company, 1955, 59 N.M. 73, 279 P.2d 526; Totah Drilling Company v. Abraham, 1958, 64 N.M. 380, 328 P.2d 1083. Compare, Bogle v. Potter, 1961, 68 N.M. 239, 360 P.2d 650. (3) Appellants attempt to contest the validity of a prior suit to quiet title decree, but nowhere is it claimed that the judgment roll of that decree failed to affirmatively show want of jurisdiction. Thus, it follows that the former judgment may not be collaterally attacked. McDonald v. Padilla, 1948, 53 N.M. 116, 202 P.2d 970; Bounds v. Carner, 1949, 53 N.M. 234, 205 P.2d 216; Kutz Canon Oil & Gas Co. v. Harr, 1952, 56 N.M. 358, 244 P.2d 522; and Matlock v. Somerford, 1958, 64 N.M. 347, 328 P.2d 600.\nThe judgment will be affirmed. It is so ordered.\nCHAVEZ and NOBLE, JJ., concur.\nCOMPTON, C. J., and MOISE, J., not participating.",
