The opinion
Per Curiam.
This was a suit for divorce a mensa. From order denying motion for alimony pendente Ute the plaintiff gave notice of appeal and attempted to appeal in forma pauperis. However, it appears *121 that there was no order allowing appeal in forma, pauperis after the filing of affidavit of poverty subsequent to the term. GLS. 1-288. True, the judge wrote in the judgment “plaintiff allowed to appeal in forma pau-peris upon compliance with the statute,” but this would not authorize disregard of the provisions of the statute. Anderson v. Worthington, 238 N.C. 577 . The requirements of the statute allowing appeals in forma pauperis are mandatory and failure to comply deprives this Court of any appellate jurisdiction. Williams v. Tillman, 229 N.C. 434 , 50 S.E. 2d 33 ; Brown v. Kress & Co., 207 N.C. 722 , 178 S.E. 248 .
Appeal dismissed.
