The case is now before us on appeal by defendant from this judgment.\nHe has failed in several respects to comply with the rules of this Court in the preparation of his briefs. Only because he is appearing pro se and is not an attorney have we disregarded these failures and given full consideration to his arguments and the pertinent portions of the record.\nHowever, we are not disposed to encourage appeals to this Court in which so little is involved. Wagner v. Eaton et al., 2 N.M. 211 (1882). Because we find no prejudicial error and the amount involved is so trifling,' we affirm without discussion of the points relied upon by defendant for reversal. Scholte v. Walker, 87 Neb. 406, 127 N.W. 123 (1910). See also Moodie v. Jenks, 329 Mass. 332, 108 N.E.2d 558 (1952) ; Guinane v. Hogan, 78 Ill.App. 272 (1898).\nThe judgment should be affirmed.\nIt is so ordered.\nSTEPHENSON and MARTINEZ, JJ., concur.",
