152 P. 319 | Cal. Ct. App. | 1915
This is an appeal from an order denying a motion to set aside a default judgment entered against the partnership defendant in the above entitled action. The ground of the motion was in effect that the copartnership defendant *320 had not been served with summons. The appeal comes here upon the judgment-roll in the action, and a duly authenticated record of the proceedings had upon the hearing and determination of the motion.
The motion was grounded, presented, and determined entirely upon the point that although the return of summons showed a service of process upon the defendant Thomas A. Pack, such return did not affirmatively declare that said Pack was a member of the copartnership and served in that capacity; and therefore, it is argued, that the return of service of summons was insufficient to warrant and support a default judgment against the copartnership defendant.
The complaint in the action, a copy of which was served with the summons upon the defendant Pack, shows that he was sued individually, and alleges that he was a member of the partnership joined as defendant under the firm name of "Thos. W. Pack, Henry E. Lee and T. O. Toland." Assuming the order in question to be appealable, we are satisfied that under the provisions of section
The order appealed from is affirmed.
