Morton v. Baker
Supreme Court of Oklahoma · Decided November 17, 1936 · Meneill, Osborn, Busby, Welch, Phelps, Corn, Gibson, Riley, Bay-Less
62 P.2d 476; 178 Okla. 227; 1936 OK 726; 1936 Okla. LEXIS 545 (Pacific Reporter, Second Series)

Morton v. Baker

Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM.

A motion to dismiss has been filed because the plaintiffs in error failed to give notice in open court either at the time the judgment was rendered or within 10 days thereafter of intention to appeal -to the Supreme Court and the record not affirmatively showing such notice was given. A response was called for under date of July 27, 1936, but the same has not been complied with. In the case of French v. *228 Bragg, 177 Okla. 43, 5 P. (2d) 953 we said:

“Where the defendant in error has filed a motion to dismiss upon jurisdictional grounds, and this court has ordered the plaintiff in error to respond thereto and no response lias been filed, it is not the duty of this court to inquire further into the jurisdiction where the authorities cited by the movant reasonably sustain the lack of jurisdiction.”

The appeal is therefore dismissed.

MeNEILL, O. X, OSBORN, V. O. X, and BUSBY, WELCH, PHELPS, CORN, and GIBSON, XL, concur. RILEY and BAY-LESS, JX, absent.
