Timberlake v. Case

Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM.

Judgment was rendered in the trial court on the 19th day of January, 1926, and thereafter, on the 22nd day of January, 1926. an application for new trial on written grounds was filed in said cause. The appeal was lodged in this court July 19, 1926. The defendants in error have filed their motion to dismiss for the reason that the motion for new trial has not b’een acted upon by the trial court. An examination of the record in this case does not show that the motion for new trial has ever been passed upon by the trial court, and there is nothing properly before this court for review.

In the case of McCommas et al. v. Security National Bank,. No. 17463, 122. Okla. 52, 250 Pac. 802, this court laid down, the rule that:

“Proceedings in error brought, in this court before the application for nevy. trial on written grounds is 'passed upon by the trial court are'prematurely brought and should’be dis'missed.” '

, Following the rule laid down above,, this cause is hereby dismissed.
