Omaha Loan & Trust Co. v. Walenz
Omaha Loan & Trust Co. v. Walenz
Opinion of the Court
On appeal from an order of confirmation of sale of real estate in foreclosure proceedings appellant argues that the sale and order of confirmation can not be sustained, because, as alleged, the decree by virtue of which the subsequent proceedings were had is invalid and of no force and effect. The contention is grounded on the claim that after the rendition of the decree, and at a subsequent term, a motion was presented to the trial court to vacate and set aside the decree under the provision of the third subdivision of section 602 of the Code of Civil Procedure, authorizing the court to vacate its own decrees at a subsequent term on the ground of “mistake, neglect, or omission of the clerk, or irregularity in obtaining a judgment or order”; and that such motion has not been acted upon by the trial court nor waived by the appellant. If this is true,—which we do. not undertake to determine,—there should be, and probably, upon calling the attention of the trial court to the fact, would be, a ruling on the motion to vacate the decree, allowing to either party, if dissatisfied, an exception, with the right of review. But, so long us the decree remains in force, is not vacated, and no proceedings are taken to reverse it or stay its execution, the mere filing of a motion to set it aside, on which no action is taken, will not have the legal effect of rendering it inoperative, or prevent a party from enforcing his rights
Affirmed.
