File No. 5240 | S.D. | Jul 2, 1923
This is an appeal by' the' owner of mortgaged real property from an order appointing a receiver made under the provisions of subdivision 2, § 2475, Rev. Code 1919, which provides that a receiver may be appointed:
“In an action by a mortgagee for the foreclosure of his mortgage and sale of the mortgaged property where it appears that the mortgaged property is in danger of being lost, removed or materially injured, or that the conditions of the mortgage have! not been performed, and that the -property is probably insufficient to discharge the mortgage debt.”
The application -by the mortgagee alleged facts constituting both of the grounds for the appointment of a receiver mlentioned in the foregoing quotation from the statute. The owner of the!

They say that the mortgagor or his successor in interest “is entitled to the use, rents and profits without let or hindrance until the fee passes by foreclosure.” They refer to sections 1558, 1531, 2898, 2913, and 2690 as the reason for their claim, and they profess to rely upon Rudolph v. Herman, 4 S. D. 283, 56 N.W. 901" court="S.D." date_filed="1893-11-24" href="https://app.midpage.ai/document/rudolph-v-herman-6683553?utm_source=webapp" opinion_id="6683553">56 N. W. 901; Siems v.

But in none of these cases was the matter of the appointment of a receiver involved.
The question now raised has been twice thoroughly considered and squarely passed upon by this court, viz., in Roberts v. Parker, 14 S. D. 323, 85 N.W. 591" court="S.D." date_filed="1901-04-02" href="https://app.midpage.ai/document/roberts-v-parker-6685921?utm_source=webapp" opinion_id="6685921">85 N. W. 591, and Sherman v. Wichner, 35 S. D. 436, 152 N. W. 7001, wherein it was held that a receiver could be appointed under the circumistances here shown.
Following those decisions, the order appealed from, is affirmed.
