Thomas v. Lincoln County
Thomas v. Lincoln County
Opinion of the Court
The opinion of the court was delivered by
Respondents’ motion to strike the statement of facts and dismiss this appeal must be granted. Ho questions are presented which do not depend upon the statement of facts. The statement of facts was not filed until after the expiration of ninety days from the entry of final judgment. This court has repeatedly held that a statement of facts filed more than ninety days after the entry of final judgment will be of no value to appellant, and will, on motion of respondent, be disregarded or stricken from the files. Loos v. Rondema, 10 Wash. 164 (38 Pac. 1012); State v. Seaton, 26 Wash. 305 (66 Pac. 397); Zindorf Construction Co. v. Western American Co., 27 Wash. 31 (67 Pac. 374); Crowley v. McDonough, 30 Wash. 57 (70 Pac. 261).
Counsel for appellants, however, insist that since the respondents stipulated that appellants might have until February 15, 1903, which was one hundred days after the entry of the judgment, in which to file the statement, they ought not to be heard now to raise the question. There is much force in this contention. But the statute, Bal. Code, § 5062, provides, in substance, that the time for filing a statement of facts may be enlarged by stipula
The cause is therefore dismissed.
