The appeal must be dismissed. The first order made in this proceeding granted respondent's and denied appellant's motion for judgment on the pleadings and dismissed the alternative writ of mandamus. Such order is not appealable. State ex rel. Quale v. Penney, 144 Minn. 463, 174 N.W. 611. Ordinarily, an order denying a motion to vacate a nonappealable order does not acquire an appealable status. Brown v. Minnesota Thresher Mfg. Co. 44 Minn. 322, 46 N.W. 560; see Security State Bank v. Brecht, 150 Minn. 502, 504, 185 N.W. 1021. An order refusing to vacate an order granting judgment on the pleadings is within the general rule. Lockwood v. Bock,46 Minn. 73, 48 N.W. 458.
Appeal dismissed.
