Wingard v. Los Angeles & Salt Lake Railroad
Wingard v. Los Angeles & Salt Lake Railroad
Opinion of the Court
Plaintiffs appeal from a judgment dismissing with prejudice the cause of action set forth in their second amended complaint. This judgment was entered pursuant to an order of the trial court sustaining, without leave to amend, the general and special demurrers of the defendant Los Angeles & Salt Lake Railroad Company. This appeal presents precisely the same legal problems as are involved in the case of Lemon v. Los Angeles & Salt Lake Railroad Company, First Civil No. 11288, supra, page 659 [102 Pac. (2d) 387], this day decided.
In this case the plaintiffs named only the Los Angeles & Salt Lake Railroad Company as defendant. So far as is pertinent here, the second amended complaint alleges that in 1901 plaintiff Angie Wingard and her husband (since deceased and whose estate is made a party plaintiff) owned certain described real property in Los Angeles County; that
It is to bé noted that in this case there is no allegation of permission sought or secured from the state railroad commission. The order of the interstate commerce commission referred to is not the same order as was involved in the Lemon case. These differences, however, in no way alter the legal principles involved.
It is to be noted that the second amended complaint does not allege that the deed from appellants to respondent was limited in any way. It is conceded by appellants that the deed was without qualification as to use, and was sufficient in form to convey to the named grantee title in fee simple absolute.
The demurrers were properly sustained for exactly the same reasons as are set forth in full in our decision in the Lemon case, supra. No useful purpose would be served by repeating what was there said. Upon the authority of, and for the reasons set forth in our decision in Lemon v. Los Angeles & Salt Lake Railroad Company, First Civil No. 11288, supra, page 659 [102 Pac. (2d) 387], the judgment appealed from is affirmed.
Knight, J., and Ward, J., concurred.
