Pope v. Amidon
Pope v. Amidon
Opinion of the Court
In this proceeding the plaintiffs in error ask to reverse an order of the District Court overruling a motion to set aside the sale of real estate and sustaining a motion to confirm the sale. On the twenty-seventh day of May, 1891, Amidon recovered judgment against Pope for the sum of $815.71, for costs of suit and for the foreclosure of a mortgage. On September 1, 1891, Amidon died, since which time no proceedings in revivor have been had. On the fourteenth day of January, 1896, an order of sale was-issued, and on the eighteenth day of February the mortgaged premises were sold to Carrie E. Havens,
The plaintiff in the action is named as defendant in error, but he is dead. The purchaser, Carrie E. Havens, is not named as a party. The case-made was never served on her. There is no defendant in error in this court. No review of the trial court upon a case-made can be had without some proper party being brought into court as defendant in error. In a valid proceeding, the purchaser, by his bid and payment of the purchase money and the sheriff’s return of the sale, becomes a party to the record, and has a right to be heard in this court before any order is made affecting his rights. McDonald v. National Bank, 58 Kan. 461, 49 Pac. Pep. 595; K. O. & T. Rly. Co. v. Smith, 40 Kan. 192.
The petition in error is dismissed.
