No. 32411. | La. | Oct 30, 1933
The appellee has moved to dismiss the suspensive appeal in this case on the ground that the appeal bond was filed after the expiration of ten days from the date on which the judgment was signed. In fact, there are two such appeals, and the motion is to dismiss both of them.
It is true that the appeal bond was filed after the expiration of ten days from the date on which the judgment was signed; but the judgment was signed before the expiration of the time allowed by law for the filing of a motion for a new trial, or for a rehearing; and a motion for a rehearing was filed within the time allowed, though after the judgment was signed. The appeal bond was filed within ten days from the date on which the motion for a rehearing was overruled.
When a judgment has been signed before the expiration of the time allowed by law for the filing of a motion for a new trial, or for a rehearing, and a motion for a new trial or for a rehearing is filed within the *111
time allowed therefor, and thereafter is overruled, the ten days in which a suspensive appeal may be taken are counted, not from the date of the signing of the judgment, but from the date of the overruling of the motion for a new trial, or for a rehearing, as the case may be. State ex rel. Wellman v. Bell, Judge,
The motion to dismiss is overruled.
