403 P.2d 605 | Mont. | 1965
Relator and appellant has filed a motion to remand this cause to the district court upon the ground that relator has
It appears from the affidavit of counsel and exhibits annexed to the motion that the purported newly discovered evidence consists of certain actions taken by the respondents on March 3, 1965, upon an unrelated matter, except that relator was a party in interest therein.
We discussed a motion of this type in State v. Nicks, 131 Mont. 567, 312 P.2d 519. What was said there respecting a criminal case would have like effect in this civil matter. There is a marked dissimilarity between this case and the Nicks case. In the Nicks case the defendant made a prima facie showing in this court sufficient to warrant consideration of the matters raised in his motion by the district court; in this case we fail to find any prima facie showing that would warrant this court in remanding the matter to the district court.
The motion to remand is denied.
