The appellant (plaintiff in the court below) brought suit on a policy of insurance. Demurrer was filed to the complaint. At the time the cause was called for trial, the defendant being called came not, but made default. Judgment was entered nil dicit. Subsequently during the same term of the court the defendant filed its motion for a new trial under sections 9518 and 9521 of the Code of 1923. The trial court entered an order granting the motion and restoring the cause to the docket. From this order plaintiff prosecutes this appeal. Motion is here made to dismiss the appeal.
