Rhyme v. Choctaw Trading Co.

Supreme Court of Oklahoma
Nov 3, 1925
239 P. 919 (Okla. 1925)

Opinion

No. 16480

Opinion Filed November 3, 1925.

(Syllabus.)

Appeal and Error — Appeal by Transcript — Defective Certificate.

Where the appeal is by transcript and the certificate of the clerk only shows that it is a full, true, and correct transcript of the original pleadings filed in the case, the appeal will be dismissed.

Error from District Court, Stephens County; M.W. Pugh, Judge.

Action between Alice Rhyme and the Choctaw Trading Company et al. From the judgment, the former appeals. Dismissed.

Womack, Brown Cund, for plaintiff in error.

Sandlin Winans, for defendants in error.


This case is appealed by transcript and defendant in error moves to dismiss for want of proper certification. The certificate of the clerk, omitting the formal parts, is as follows:

"I, Jessie F. Barnes, the duly elected, qualified and acting court clerk in and for Stephens county, Oklahoma, do hereby certify that the within and foregoing case-made contains a full, true, complete and correct transcript and copy of all the original pleadings filed in said cause as the same now remains on file and of record in my office."

The certificate is fatally defective in that it fails to certify that the transcript is a full, true, and correct transcript of the record as provided by rule 17 of this court.

The appeal is dismissed.
