This is a compensation case. From a judgment in the district court for Lancaster County in favor of the plaintiff, Max Geller, the defendants, Elastic Stop Nut Corporation of Amеrica, a corporation, and Maryland Casualty Company, a corporation, appeal.
The first question presented for consideration is whether
The record shows that appеllee filed his petition in the compensation court on February 18, 1944, and from an award entered by Judge Charles E. Jackman appeal was taken to the full court. On October 17, 1944, the full compensation court entered an order dismissing the plaintiff’s cause of action.
Thereupon, on October 30, 1944, the appellee filed his petition оn appeal in the district court for Lancaster County and attached thereto a copy of the compensation court’s order of dismissal of October 17, 1944, but nоt a transcript of the pleadings before the compensation court and thе order of said court certified to by the clerk thereof.
Appellants by speсial appearance filed November 3, 1944, which was overruled, raised this question and have done so throughout the proceeding.
That part of section 48-182, R. S. 1943, which is applicable here, provides: “* * * within fourteen days thereafter, file with the district court * * * , a verified petition * * * , together with a transcript of the pleadings before the compensation court and the orders of such court certified to by the clerk therеof.”
As stated in Henderson v. Wilson,
In discussing this statutory provision in Hansen v. Paxton & Vierling Iron Works,
And in Henderson v. Wilson, supra: “An appeal from an award of the compensation court sitting en banc is complete when a petition and transcript are filed in the district court within the fourteen days allowed by the statute. Comр. St. Supp. 1939, Sec.48-174 (now section 48-182, R. S. 1943).”
The method of perfecting an appeal to the district court from an order of the compensation court sitting en banc is provided by section 48-182, R. S. 1943. It is a statute with which compliance must be had in order to give the district сourt jurisdiction on appeal. As such, its provisions are mandatory.
We have not оverlooked the fact that appellee, in his petition on appeаl, states: “That by way of transcript he attaches hereto and makes a part hereof and marks ‘Exhibit A’ a multiple original of the final Order of Dismissal on Rehearing in the above entitled cause by the Nebraska Workmens’ Compensation Court; and he asks leavе to supplement said transcript later by further certified copies of paрers and proceedings in the Nebraska Workmen’s Compensation Court.”
However, no showing is made that any officer of the compensation court caused a dеlay in his securing a certified transcript of the pleadings therein, including the order of said court appealed from. See Larson v. Wegner,
For the reasons herein stated the district court should
