Goldie v. Bay Circuit Judge
Goldie v. Bay Circuit Judge
Opinion of the Court
Charles Clark having recovered a judgment as administrator against petitioners, they secured a reversal thereof in this court November 7,1906. Clark v. Goldie, 146 Mich. 303. November 26th costs of this court
The costs remaining unpaid, petitioners moved in the circuit court for a judgment of nonsuit. On the 2d day of January, 1909, an order was entered “that plaintiff have 30 days, from and including this day, in which to file an approved bond as security for the payment of the accrued and any costs hereafter accruing in favor of defendants, all such costs to be paid on the final disposition of the said cause. It is further ordered that on the filing of such approved bond said motion be denied.” Petitioners apply to this court for an order requiring the respondent to show cause why the last order should not be vacated and an order of nonsuit entered.
We held in the case of Clark v. Bay Circuit Judge, supra, that the order staying proceedings and requiring payment of the costs was not a final order. We are also of the opinion that the failure to pay the costs within the time limited <lid not give to the order the effect of a final order, or exhaust the discretion of the circuit judge to modify the order.
The application is denied, with costs.
