This is аn appeal from an order denying a motion of the defendant for modification of the judgment heretofore made аnd entered. The judgment in question is one after verdict of guilty of the charge contained in the information accusing the defendant of a violation of section 141 of the California Motor Vehicle Act (Stats. 1923, p. 562). The judgment was:
*528 “ ... It is therefore ordered, adjudgеd and decreed, that the said Alfred J. Brattingham be punished by imprisonmеnt in the county jail of the county of Los Angeles for the term of оne year; in addition, defendant shall pay a fine of $1000.00; or defаulting in said payment, he shall be punished by imprisonment in the county jail of the county of Los Angeles at the rate of one day for еach two dollars of said fine not paid.”
This was done on July 29, 1927, and thе defendant was at once remanded to the custody of the sheriff. On October 1, 1927, the defendant served notice that on October 7, 1927, he would move the superior court to modify the judgment by striking therеfrom the following:
“Or defaulting in said payment, he shall be punished by imprisonment in the county jail of the county of Los Angeles, at the rate of one day for each two dollars of said fine not paid.”
It is claimed that the court was without jurisdiction to pronouncе that part of the sentence sought to be stricken out. The motion was denied, and the defendant appeals. The People have moved to dismiss the appeal.
Appellаnt contends that an appeal is authorized by subdivision 3 of section 1237 of the Penal Code, which provides that an appeal may be taken from an order after judgment affecting the substantial rights of the defendant. It is also said that the court has inherent power at any time to vacate a void judgment. Generally this is truе, but the rule is well established that an order made after judgment is not аppealable where the motion merely asks the cоurt to repeat or overrule the former ruling on the same facts. As said in
De La Montanya
v.
De La Montanya,
A number of decisions cited by apрellant hold that the trial court has jurisdiction to vacate or modify a void judgment, but they do not mention the question here presеnted, namely, will an appellate court entertain an аppeal from *529 an order made after judgment where the аppeal from the judgment would present precisely the same question, and in every way afford protection to the rights оf the defendant? The authorities sustain the contention of the Pеople upon this issue.
Applying the rule to the record before ns, it is apparent that upon an appeal from the judgment alone the judgment-roll would contain everything necessаry to a determination of the contention of the apрellant, and to consider the appeal from the order refusing to modify the judgment would have the effect of allowing the right to two appeals.
It is ordered that the appeal be dismissed.
