270 P. 866 | Colo. | 1928
THE City and County of Denver brought condemnation proceedings. Roland Miller, one of those whose lands were sought to be condemned for street purposes, filed an answer in the nature of a demurrer attacking the sufficiency of the petition and the validity of the proceeding. His objections were overruled, and the court thereupon appointed commissioners in condemnation with the usual powers and duties. To that order of appointment Miller sued out this writ of error. He contends that such order is a final order; whereas, the city *398 contends that the order is not a final determination of the proceeding, and, therefore, that the writ of error is premature.
Whatever may be the holding in other jurisdictions, in this state an order of the trial court determining that the condemnation proceeding will lie and appointing commissioners is not a final, but an interlocutory, order, to which a writ of error will not lie. After the final determination of the proceeding and the entry of a final decree, a writ of error will present for review all the objections now urged. Burlington Colorado R. R.
