delivered the opinion of the court.
Judgment was entered in favor of defendant in error, and motion for a new trial filed hy plaintiff in error. Thereafter and on June 28, 1915, the motion for a new trial was denied, and sixty days allowed plaintiff in error in which to prepare and tender her record on error. Nothing was done within the time specified. However, on August 28, 1915, plaintiff in error, without notice to defendant in error, made application for an extension of time for thirty days additional in which to prepare and tender the record on error, and the same was allowed hy the court. Thereafter and on September 15, 1915, and again on October 27th, further extensions were allowed, all of which were without notice to defendant in error. The defendant in error has filed a motion to strike the alleged record on error from the files, and to dismiss the writ of error upon several grounds, only one of which we deem necessary to consider, to-wit: that the trial court was without jurisdiction, right or power to enter the order of August 28, 1915, giving the plaintiff in- error thirty days additional time in which to prepare and serve 'the record on error, in that the order was applied for, made and entered of record after the expiration of the time fixed and allowed in which to prepare and serve the record on error.
Sub-division C. of No. 20 of the Buies of Practice' and Procedure in Civil Causes requires the plaintiff in error, within sixty days from the date a motion for a new trial is denied, to serve upon the opposing parties or their attorneys, the original record on error or a copy thereof; and sub-division E. of said rule authorizes the court or judge, upon good cause shown, to extend the time for preparing the record on error, and the time
The motion to strike is, therefore, sustained and the writ of error dismissed.
Decision en banc.
