Ondes v. Bunker Hill & Sullivan Mining & Concentrating Co.
Ondes v. Bunker Hill & Sullivan Mining & Concentrating Co.
Opinion of the Court
— This appeal is taken from an order of the district court of the eighth judicial district for Kootenai county granting respondent a change of venue to the district court for Shoshone county. The papers were transmitted to the clerk of the court of the latter county in accordance with C. S., see. 6668.
“Sec. 6668. "When an order is made transferring an action or proceeding for trial, the clerk of the court, or justice of the peace, must transmit the pleadings and papers therein to the clerk or justice of the court to which it is transferred. The costs and fees thereof, and of filing the papers anew, must he paid by the party at whose instance the order was made. The court to which an action or proceeding is transferred has and exercises over the same the like jurisdiction as if it had been originally commenced therein. ’ ’
The transcript is certified by the clerk of the district court for Kootenai county and not by the clerk of the court for Shoshone county.
The first ground of respondent’s motion to dismiss the appeal is that the transcript was not certified and filed within 90 days after the perfection of the appeal as required by rule 26. The records of this court show that the time was extended by three orders signed by the Chief Justice in accordance with rule 28, and that the transcript was served and filed within the time as extended. The extension of time by an ex parte order is the proper and usual practice under rule 28.
Another ground, variously stated in the motion, is that the transcript is certified by the clerk of the district court for Kootenai county, whereas it should have been certified by the clerk of the court for Shoshone county. The theory is that, after the change of venue was granted and the papers were forwarded to Shoshone county, the clerk of the Kootenai county court lost all power and control over them, that the action was from then on pending in the Shoshone county eourt, and the clerk of the court for Kootenai county had no authority to certify to a transcript. Counsel for
The third ground of the motion is that neither the clerk nor the attorneys certified that a proper undertaking on appeal had been filed. C. S., sec. 7167, requires such a certificate. This court has held that this requirement is met by including a copy of the undertaking on appeal in the transcript with a stipulation that it is a true copy. (Idaho Comstock etc. Co. v. Lundstrum, 9 Ida. 257, 74 Pac. 975.) A copy of the undertaking in this case is included in the transcript. The clerk certifies it is a correct copy. It appears to be sufficient, and has not been attacked. This constitutes sufficient compliance with the statute.
The motion to dismiss the appeal is denied.
Petition for rehearing denied.
