Kelland v. Kelland
Kelland v. Kelland
Opinion of the Court
In these actions consolidated on appeal (Nos. 363195 and 380379 in the court below, the first to determine whether transfers of property from husband to wife were procured through fraud and the second to quiet title), the appeal is prosecuted by defendant, cross-complainant, intervener, and appellant H. S. Shapiro, an attorney who originally represented the husband, George A. Kelland, and who claims a one-half interest in part of the property by virtue of his contract of employment with said husband. The causes are now before this court on motion of both principal parties, the husband and wife, to dismiss the appeal of said Shapiro or to affirm the judgment.
The record shows plainly that the parties never entered into the stipulation claimed by appellant. On the first trial of action 363195 (this appeal is from judgment after the second trial), the terms of a stipulation were discussed and certain provisions agreed to when, in the course of the discussion, a dispute arose as to the nature of the interest to be given appellant, and this dispute terminated in a failure to complete the stipulation. Indeed, in action 380379 the court specifically found that no stipulation had been entered into in action 363195. The record supports this finding.
Appellant raises no other questions which merit discussion.
The judgment is affirmed.
