Pickel v. Pickel
Pickel v. Pickel
Opinion of the Court
This appeal is from a restraining order issued by the trial court against plaintiff, who had prevailed in the suit.
The Supreme Court reversed the judgment on that appeal, modified it in part and as so modified affirmed it. [See Pickel v. Pickel, 243 Mo. 641, 147 S. W. 1059.] ■ But upon the mandate being lodged in the circuit court, - further proceedings were had there, at the conclusion of which plaintiff perfected an appeal -to the Supreme Court. -At the time plaintiff perfected her appeal to the Supreme Court, the circuit court modified its de-cree by setting aside an injunction theretofore issued; in favor of plaintiff and approved a bond tendered by defendants conditioned to compensate any claim which plaintiff might establish in her suit. It was because of this modification in the decree and the approval of the bond that plaintiff prosecuted her appeal to the.Supreme Court. That appeal has been recently adjudicated but is yet unreported. [See Pickel v. Pickel, -Mo.-,-S. W.- (decided April Term, 1913).] At the same time the cour-t set aside the restraining order theretofore issued in favor of plaintiff, it entered a like order in favor of defendants and restraining plaintiff “from causing any execution to issue against defendants or either of them to be levied
It is obvious this court is without jurisdiction in the premises. ’ The matter presented is but a side appeal in a case of which the Supreme Court alone possesses appellate jurisdiction. It would introduce interminable confusion to permit the practice of appealing from.one order to the Supreme Court and another order to.this court in the same case. There can be no doubt that the Supreme Court had exclusive appellate jurisdiction of the ease of Pickel v. Pickel et al., for it involved an amount largely exceeding $7500, which is the extent of the jurisdiction here. This being true, this.court is without any jurisdiction whatever in the premises to review the subject-matter or interpose orders concerning it. [See State ex rel. Blakemore v. Rombauer, 101 Mo. 499, 14 S. W. 726; State ex rel. Rogers v. Rombauer, 105 Mo. 103, 16 S. W. 695.] It is^hberefore, our duty under the statute (section 3938,. Revised Statutes 1909) to transfer the appeal to the Supreme Court for its proper disposition. It is so orclered.
