By the petition, Rebecca Riley seeks to annul an order of the superior court which awarded fees and expenses to Naomi Blair Ruoff, guardian of the person and estate of Susan Ann Blair, now deceased. (This case is part of a long line of litigation — see Estate of Blair, 126 Cal.App.2d 759 [ 272 P.2d 866] [hearing denied]; Estate of Blair, 127 Cal.App.2d 130 [ 273 P.2d 349]; Estate of Blair, 132 Cal.App.2d 305 [ 282 P.2d 116] [hearing denied]; Guardianship of Blair, 139 Cal.App.2d 832 [ 294 P.2d 521] [hearing denied]; Estate of Blair, 42 Cal.2d 728 [ 269 P.2d 612].) On August 8, 1950, Naomi Blair Ruoff was appointed and qualified as the guardian of the person and estate of Susan Ann Blair, an incompetent person.

This is another chapter in the prolonged litigation that has plagued this estate for several years resulting in substantial depletion of its assets through allowances for fees. The earlier chapters, sub nomine, are: Estate of Blair, 126 Cal.App.2d 759 [ 272 P.2d 866]; id. 127 Cal.App.2d 130 [ 273 P.2d 349]; id. 132 Cal.App.2d 305 [ 282 P.2d 116]; Guardianship of Blair, 139 Cal.App.2d 832 [ 294 P.2d 521]; Estate of Blair, 42 Cal.2d 728 [ 269 P.2d 612]; and Riley v. Superior Court, 49 Cal.2d 305 [ 316 P.2d 956]. At the hearing of the petition of the guardian for fees for herself and her counsel the administratrix took the position that the court was without jurisdiction to make any such award, on the theory that the court's jurisdiction terminated with an order of March 5, 1955, approving the closing account and ordering the discharge of the guardian.
