JOHN JOSEPH SEMPLE vs. CHRISTINE SEMPLE
    Superior Court Tolland County
    File #3722
    Present: Hon. ERNEST A. INGLIS, Judge.
    Frederick J. Rundbaken, Attorney for the Plaintiff.
    Edward W. Broder, Attorney for the Defendant.
    MEMORANDUM FILED MARCH 18, 1936.
   INGLIS, J.

Judgment was entered in this case on November 7th, 1935. On November 20th, 1935, the defendant took her appeal and on that day .the appeal was allowed. The effect of that was to remove the case from this Court to the Supreme Court of Errors. (Sec. 5689, Gen. St. Rev. 1930.)

It is fundamental that after an appeal from a judgment of' the Superior Court is taken and allowed this Court has no further control of the case except to perfect the appeal in accordance with the statutes and rules.

Huntington vs. McMahon, 48 Conn. 174, 195.
Vincent vs. McNamara, 70 Conn. 332, 339.
State vs. Hunter, 73 Conn. 435, 444.

In particular, it would be strange indeed if this Court had power to dismiss an appeal. The exercise of such a power could render the right of appeal entirely negatory. If this Court had such power it could at any time prevent all appeals from its own judgments by simply dismissing them.

However that may be, the case clearly is now in the Supreme Court of Errors and if the plaintiff has cause for the dismissal of the appeal he must pursue his remedy there.

Bronson, Trustee & Mechanics Bank. 83 Conn., 128.

The motion to dismiss the appeal is denied.
