Shipley v. Shipley

Supreme Court of Nebraska
Nov 23, 1951
50 N.W.2d 103 (Neb. 1951)

Opinion

No. 33033.

Filed November 23, 1951.

Appeal and Error. An order sustaining a general demurrer to a petition, not followed by a judgment of dismissal or other final disposition of the case, is not a final order or judgment, and is not reviewable in this court.

APPEAL from the district court for Douglas County: HERBERT RHOADES, JUDGE. Dismissed.

Burbridge Burbridge, for appellant.

Frost, Peasinger Meyers, for appellee.

Heard before SIMMONS, C. J., CARTER, MESSMORE, YEAGER, CHAPPELL, WENKE, and BOSLAUGH, JJ.


The plaintiff filed a petition in the district court to modify a decree of divorce. The defendant, cross-petitioner, demurred to the petition. The demurrer was sustained. The plaintiff appeals.

The ruling on the demurrer was not followed by a judgment of dismissal nor any order showing final disposition of the case.

In Larson v. Sloan, 77 Neb. 438, 109 N.W. 752, this court held: "An order sustaining a general demurrer to a petition, not followed by a judgment of dismissal or other final disposition of the case, is not a final order or judgment, and is not reviewable in this court." See, also, Miller v. B. M. R.R. Co., 7 Neb. 227; state ex rel. Sorensen v. State Bank of Omaha, 131 Neb. 223, 267 N.W. 532; Cozad Ditch Co. v. Central Nebraska Public Power Irrigation Dist., 132 Neb. 547, 272 N.W. 560; state ex rel. Johnson v. Consumers Public Power Dist., 142 Neb. 114, 5 N.W.2d 202; 25-1902, R.R.S. 1943.

For the reason given herein, the plaintiff's appeal is dismissed.

DISMISSED.
