Utah Supreme Court · Decided April 1, 1982 · Per Curiam
645 P.2d 655; 1982 Utah LEXIS 935 (Pacific Reporter, Second Series)

Wilson v. Manning

Opinion

PER CURIAM:

Petitioners brought this action for a writ of mandamus commanding a city recorder to submit a rezoning ordinance to a referendum. The district court denied the petition in an unsigned minute entry accompanied by a certificate of mailing which directed counsel for the defendant to prepare an order conforming to the minute entry. However, no order appears in the record and apparently none was entered. The notice of appeal states that petitioners appeal “from the minute entry entered in this action

An unsigned minute entry does not constitute an entry of judgment, nor is it a final judgment for purposes of Utah R.Civ.P. 72(a). Utah R.Civ.P. 58A(b) and (c); Steadman v. Lake Hills, 20 Utah 2d 61, 433 P.2d 1 (1967); Hartford Accident & Indemnity Co. v. Clegg, 103 Utah 414, 135 *656 P.2d 919 (1943); Robison v. Fillmore Commercial & Savings Bank, 61 Utah 398, 213 P. 790 (1923). Although well briefed and argued, this appeal must therefore be dismissed as improperly before this Court.

So ordered. No costs awarded.
