Opinion
This is an action in mandamus filed originally in this court, and to the petition of the relator the respondents have filed an answer and a cross-petition. The relator now moves this court to dismiss the cross-petition for the reason that the court is without jurisdiction to consider the matter set forth in the cross-petition.
Appellate courts have original jurisdiction in mandamus. However, this court does not have original jurisdiction to consider an action for statutory damages, as alleged in the cross-petition. It should be noted further that the law does not provide appellate courts with the machinery for conducting a trial necessary to determine the issues raised by the cross-petition.
The motion to dismiss the cross-petition will be sustained, and if the respondents desire an opportunity to submit an amended answer, leave will be granted them.
Motion sustained.
