172 P. 598 | Cal. | 1918
In this case the motion to dismiss the appeal from final judgment on the ground that the appeal was not taken within the time provided by law was granted from the bench. As the matter involved the construction of certain sections of our Code of Civil Procedure relative to appeals, it is deemed proper to briefly state the reasons on which the decision of the court is based.
The final judgment herein was actually entered in the superior court on August 10, 1917, and the appeal was not taken until November 9, 1917, which was more than sixty days after the entry of the judgment. Our law substantially provides (Code Civ. Proc., secs. 939 and 941b) that an appeal from the judgment must be taken within sixty days from the entry of the judgment. It further provides: "If proceedings on motion for a new trial are pending, the time for appeal from the judgment shall not expire until thirty days after entry in the trial court of the order determining such motion for a new trial, or other termination in the trial court of the proceedings upon such motion." Appellant relies on the provision quoted. Its notice of intention to move for a new trial was, however, not filed within ten days after notice of the entry of the judgment, as required by section
It was for this reason that the appeal from the judgment was dismissed. *95
