222 Wis. 490 | Wis. | 1936
The plaintiff is a nonresident of the state, and the defendants procured an ex parte order directing the plaintiff to file security for costs within twenty days. The plaintiff did not file the bond within the time prescribed by the order. The defendants thereupon procured an ex parte judgment dismissing the action for failure to comply with the order. The court thereafter on motion of the plaintiff vacated the order of dismissal, permitted the filing of the security and reinstated the action for further proceedings. From the latter order the defendants appeal.
The order is not appealable. No orders are appealable except as provided by sec. 274.33, Stats., sub. (1) of which 'permits appeal from an order affecting a substantial right that in effect determines the action and prevents a judgment from which an appeal may be taken. The order involved falls under said sub. (1). It affects a substantial right, but it does not determine the action and prevent a judgment from which an appeal may be taken. There is no other section of the statute under which the order can fall. It does not fall under sub. (2) because it is not a “final order.” Obviously it cannot fall under subs. (3) and (4). The situation is not materially different from that involved in Hanson v. Custer, 203 Wis. 55, 233 N. W. 642, wherein an order was held not appealable that vacated a former order that for want of bringing the case to trial within five years dismissed all proceedings subsequent to entry of a judgment on cognovit which had been vacated and defense permitted. The order there vacated terminated the action as effectively as did the judgment of dismissal here involved.
By the Court. — The appeal is dismissed.
