74 P. 546 | Cal. | 1903
This is an appeal from a judgment dismissing the action, and is taken upon the judgment-roll alone. There is no bill of exceptions; hence we are not advised upon which particular ground the lower court ordered the dismissal. The judgment recites that "The court, after hearing the evidence adduced . . . and good cause appearing therefor, it is ordered that said motion be and the same is hereby granted."
Upon appeal every intendment is in favor of the validity of the judgment appealed from, and it is incumbent upon the party assailing it to show affirmatively that it is erroneous. Nothing towards that end appears in the record.
The superior court has power to dismiss an action upon several grounds (Code Civ. Proc., sec. 581), and it will be presumed, in the absence of any showing to the contrary, that the dismissal was ordered on some good ground, and that in ordering it the court properly exercised its power in conformity with the rules of law. (Pardy v. Montgomery, *56
