Vaughn v. Rennie
Vaughn v. Rennie
Opinion of the Court
Opinion by
This cause comes up in this court on the motion of defendants in error to dismiss the appeal. There are a number of grounds urged, but we shall notice only two. The first is, that there is no recital in the record that the case-made contains all the evidence introduced at the trial of the cause; and, second, that the ■ case-made was signed and settled before the time had expired for suggesting amendments.
That both of these propositions are well taken is apparent upon the face of the record.
As to the first, there is a certificate of the attorney of plaintiff in error that the case-made contains all the evidence. But this certificate is unauthorized and insufficient. Gaffney v. Stanard et al., 31 Okla. 541, 122 Pac. 510. But where the absence of this recital is the only defect in the case-made, and the only ground for dismissal, it is the policy of this court on application to permit the record to be withdrawn for the purpose of sup *538 plying the omission. And in this case we would gladly permit this to be done and sustain the record, if it were the only ground urged for dismissal.
In the record before us the defendants in error have done nothing to waive their right to the time allowed them within which to suggest amendments. They have suggested no amendments, signed no waiver, nor entered into any stipulation that the case-made is correct, etc. *539 And the case-made was signed and settled nearly a month before their time to suggest amendments had expired. And the two grounds above mentioned' being well taken, we think the appeal should be dismissed.
By the Court: It is so ordered.

- 1. APPEAL AND ERROR — Record—Case-Made—Requisites. The absence from the record of a recital that the case-made contains all the evidence introduced on the trial of the cause is ground for dismissal, if the question, involved requires an examination of the evidence; but, where this is the only defect in the record, . it is the policy of this court on application to permit the record to be withdrawn for the purpose of supplying this omission. 2. SAME — Time for Settlement. The time allowed for suggesting amendments does not begin to run until the date which the court has fixed for serving the case-made, regardless of the fact that it may have been served before that date. And the defendant in error has the full time allowed him from that date in which to examine the case-made and suggest amendments. (Syllabus by Brett, C.)
