169 P. 182 | Idaho | 1917
This is a motion to dismiss the appeal from a final judgment upon two grounds: 1. That the certificate of the clerk to the transcript is insufficient. 2. That the transcript does not contain copies of all papers as required by law.
The transcript contains two certificates of the clerk as follows:
(1) “I, E. J. Finch, Clerk of the District Court of the Fourth Judicial District of the State of Idaho, in and for Twin Falls County, do hereby certify that the foregoing contain all the papers specified in the praecipe on file in my office, and that the same with the exception of the order overruling motion for nonsuit are attached to the judgment-roll in said action. ’ ’
(2) “I, E. J. Finch, Clerk of the District Court of the Fourth Judicial District of the State of Idaho, in and for the County of Twin Falls, do hereby certify:
*86 “That the above and foregoing were compiled and bound under my direction as a true and correct transcript of the proceedings therein contained, and I further certify:
“That the. same are full, true and correct copies of the said papers and files, now on file in my office and of the certificate of the judge settling' the transcript herein in said action.”
The record does not contain a copy of the praecipe.
Sec. 4818, Rev. Codes, as amended Sess. Laws 1911, p. 375, reads: “On an appeal from a final judgment the appellant must furnish the court with copy of the notice of appeal, of the judgment-roll and of any bill of exceptions or reporter’s transcript prepared and settled as prescribed in section 4434, upon which the appellant relies. ’ ’
Sec. 4821, Rev. Codes, reads: “The copies provided for in the last three sections must be certified to be correct by the clerk or the attorneys, and must be accompanied with a certificate of the clerk or attorney, that an undertaking on appeal, in due form, has been properly filed or a stipulation of the parties waiving an undertaking.”
Sec. 4456, as amended Sess. Laws 1909, p. 76, reads: “Immediately after entering the judgment, the clerk must attach together and file the following papers, which constitute the judgment-roll:
“1. In case the complaint be not answered by any defendant, the summons with the affidavit or proof of service, and the complaint, with a memorandum endorsed thereon that the default of the defendant in not answering was entered, and a copy of the judgment.
“2. In all other cases, the pleadings, a copy of the verdict of the jury, or findings of the court, or referee, a copy of any order made on demurrer, or relating to a change of the parties, and a copy of the judgment. If there are two or more defendants in the action, and any one of them has allowed judgment to pass against him by default, the summons, with proof of its service upon such defendant, must also be added to the other papers mentioned in this subdivision.”
Before the motion was finally submitted the appellants asked leave to file an amended certificate, which, under the authority of Steensland v. Hess, 25 Ida. 181, 136 Pac. 1124, and Smith v. Intermountain Auto Co., 25 Ida. 212, 136 Pac. 1125, will be granted.
Appellants also suggested diminution of the record and asked leave to certify additional papers as part of the judgment-roll. Under the statutes of this state it is necessary that appellants furnish this court with a copy of the complete judgment-roll properly certified.
An order will be made permitting an amendment of the clerk’s certificate of the record, and also allowing appellants to supply the complete judgment-roll. The motion to dismiss will be denied.
