Render v. Dodson
Supreme Court of Oklahoma · Decided December 22, 1936 · McNeill, Osborn, Riley, Bayless, Busby, Welch, Phelps, Corn
66 P.2d 14; 179 Okla. 352; 1936 OK 851; 1936 Okla. LEXIS 750 (Pacific Reporter, Second Series)

Render v. Dodson

Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM.

A motion to dismiss has been filed in this cause for the reason that the certificate of the court clerk does not purport to present a transcript of the record.

We are of the opinion that the case must be dismissed under the rule announced many times by this court. See Wade v. Mitchell, 14 Okla. 168, 79 P. 95; Champion Oil Co. v. Burke, 90 Okla. 33, 215 P. 756. It is true the clerk certified that it is a full, true, correct, and complete copy of certain instruments, and sets out ten instruments.

The court cannot presume, or judicially know, that this is all of record unless the clerk’s certificate is attached to the transcript stating that it is all of the record. The very purpose of the certificate is to satisfy this court that there are no other pleadings of record than those included in the transcript.

The appeal is therefore dismissed.

McNEILL, C. J., OSBORN, Y. C. J., and RILEY, BAYLESS, BUSBY, and -GIBSON, JJ., concur. WELCH, PHELPS, and CORN, JJ., absent.
