Brooks v. Calderwood

Supreme Court of California
Oct 1, 1861
19 Cal. 124 (Cal. 1861)

Opinion

         Rehearing Denied 19 Cal. 124 at 125.

         Appeal from the Fourth District.

         Ejectment for a lot in San Francisco. Defendant Calderwood, upon entering his appearance, moved to transfer the cause to the United States Circuit Court for trial. Upon hearing, the motion was denied, and from the order of denial Calderwood appeals.

         COUNSEL:

         J. B. Harmon, for Respondent, moved to dismiss the appeal, citing Hopper v. Kalkman (17 Cal. 517).

         B. S. Brooks, contra.


         JUDGES: Field, C. J. Cope, J. concurring.

         OPINION

          FIELD, Judge

         Subsequently, appellant applied for a rehearing, contending that by stipulation the case was submitted on its merits.

         Field, C. J. delivered the opinion of the Court--Cope, J. concurring.

         As no appeal lies from the order refusing to transfer the cause to the Circuit Court of the United States for trial, this Court has no jurisdiction to pass upon the merits of the application of the defendant, even with the stipulation of the parties. It will be time enough to consider the merits when the case is properly before us.

         Rehearing denied.
