16 P.2d 656 | Nev. | 1932
[EDITORS' NOTE: THIS PAGE CONTAINS HEADNOTES. HEADNOTES ARE NOT AN OFFICIAL PRODUCT OF THE COURT, THEREFORE THEY ARE NOT DISPLAYED.] We submit that the order appealed from is not such a "special order made after final judgment" as is contemplated by sec. 8885 N.C.L. Nor does it fall within *343 the provisions of sec. 8375 N.C.L., or any other section that we have been able to find. Bancroft Pr., vol. 8, sec. 6286, p. 8351.
The appellants herein were not parties to the original action in which the order appealed from was made. The judgment in that case did not affect nor incorporate any rights of either of the appellants. The statute expressly provides for an appeal from "any special order made after final judgment." Sec. 8885 N.C.L.
Under the statute the order must be one which affects the judgment, or bears some relation to it, either by way of enforcing it or staying its operation, but it need not follow the judgment in the same line of proceeding. 3 C.J. 519, n. 62, 63; Calderwood v. Peyser,
The rule is that any order subsequent in point of time to the entry of judgment is appealable. 2 Hayne New Trial and Appeal, pp. 1001-1005; Comstock M. M. Co. v. Allen,
On the 16th day of April, 1932, said E.R. Tarbell, appearing specially, objected to the hearing of the said motion upon the ground that he had not been served with notice of said motion, and that the court was without jurisdiction to hear the same. The objection was heard and the order made, which has been appealed from as previously stated.
1. We think the order refusing to quash and recall said execution is not appealable. Section 8885 N.C.L., provides in part that an appeal may be taken "from any special order made after final judgment." Appellant contends that this provision is without any limitation or restriction. But if this were true, then a party to the litigation or one not a party might continue the litigation to an unreasonable extent. As stated in Weed v. Weed,
In the above case the court approved the construction of a provision of the Montana Code, which is the same as the provision under consideration, made by the supreme court of Montana in the case of Chicago, M. *345
St. P. Ry. Co. v. White,
2. In construing the statute, the court in Chicago, M. St. P. Ry. Co. v. White, supra, said: "The special order, made after final judgment, from which an appeal lies, must be an order affecting the rights of some party to the action, growing out of the judgment previously entered. It must be an order affecting rights incorporated in the judgment."
This is an expression of the correct principle. The order appealed from does not fall within its scope. Neither of the appellants against whom the order was made is a party to the action in which the judgment was entered, nor does the order affect any right included therein. Appellants rely upon the case of Comstock M. M. Co. v. Allen,
3. This language is broad enough to support their contention, but the court in that case was not considering a question like the one presented here. The appeal in that case was from an order retaxing costs, and was taken by a party to the action. It was clearly an order contemplated by the statute as a special order after final judgment. That the court in its opinion used language broad enough to include any order made after final judgment, however frivolous the application for it may have been, or if made by a stranger to the action, is of no consequence as an authority.
It was stated by the court in Jensen v. Pradere,
The cases of Saval v. Blume,
The appellants, not being parties to the action, have no right to be heard, or to appeal from said order. Hence the appeal must be dismissed.
It is so ordered.
