Missouri Pacific Railroad Company v. Bumpers

1958 OK 134, 326 P.2d 1064, 1958 Okla. LEXIS 508

Opinion

CORN, Vice Chief Justice.

This is an attempted appeal by petition in error, with case-made attached, from a judgment of the District Court of Sequoyah County, Oklahoma in a personal injury action. The court’s judgment was rendered on the 12th day of March, 1957. The appellant’s motion for a new trial was overruled on the 25th day of March, 1957. The case-made was settled and signed by the trial judge May 22, 1957. The petition in error, with case-made attached, was not filed, in this court until the 22nd day of June, 1957, which was more than twenty days from the date the case-made was settled and signed.

Our statute requires that proceedings be commenced within 20 days from the date the case-made is settled. 12 O.S.1955 Supp. § 972. It is apparent that this court is without jurisdiction to review the appeal. Appeal dismissed.

WELCH, C. J., and DAVISON, HALLEY, JOHNSON, WILLIAMS, BLACKBIRD and JACKSON, JJ., concur.
