Opinion
No. 36630.
November 15, 1955.
Appeal from the District Court of Harmon County; W.P. Keen, Judge.
Action to determine an interest in property and for an accounting by Edith Gale Page et al. From an order of the trial court ordering an accounting, defendants appeal. Dismissed.
Little Hoyt, Oklahoma City, Hicks Fancher, Hollis, for plaintiffs in error.
Dudley, Duvall, Dudley, Oklahoma City, R.D. Miller, Hollis, for defendant in error.
Plaintiff, individually, and as executrix, brought an action against defendants seeking an accounting and the determination of an interest in real and personal property. The trial court ordered an accounting by its order of May 8, 1954, and defendants appeal.
A motion to dismiss has been filed for the reason the order cannot be brought to this court on appeal prior to a final determination of the issues in the trial court. The motion to dismiss must be sustained. In Arthur v. Arthur, Okla., 258 P.2d 1191, 1192, a similar case, it is stated:
"`An appeal does not lie to this court from an intermediate or interlocutory order made during the pendency of an action, which intermediate or interlocutory order leaves the parties in court to have the issues tried on the merits, unless the appeal sought to be taken comes within some one of the special orders from which an appeal is authorized by statute prior to final judgment in the main action.'"
Appeal dismissed.
