    Appeal and Error—Record—Time for Filing—Evidence.
    1. Where an appeal was perfected in accordance with Section 550, subdivision 4, L. O. L., on April 19th, the trial court had no authority, under Section 554, requiring the transcript to be filed within 30 days after the appeal is perfected, to enter an order on May 27th extending the time to file the transcript.

    This is an action by Seymour H. Bell against J. C. Fleming, in which plaintiff obtained a judgment and defendant appeals. Respondent moves to dismiss the appeal on the ground stated in the opinion of the court. Motion allowed and appeal dismissed.
    Dismissed.
    
      Mr. Leon W. Behrman and Mr. Maurice W. Seitz, for the motion.

   Opinion

Per Curiam.

This is a motion to dismiss an appeal on the ground that an order of the trial court enlarging the time within which to file the transcript on appeal was not made while that court retained jurisdiction of the cause. An inspection of the papers sent up in this cause shows that on February 15, 1916, the plaintiff secured a judgment against the defendant; that on April 4th following a notice of appeal was served and filed by defendant’s counsel, who 10 days thereafter also served and filed an undertaking on appeal. No objections to the sufficiency of the sureties on the undertaking appear to have been made, and hence the appeal became perfected April 19, 1916: Section 550, subd. 4, L. O. L. The appellant was allowed thereby 30' days from the latter date, or until May 19th, in which to file his transcript on appeal: Section 554, L. O. L. The order extending the time in which to file the transcription was not made until May 27, 1916.

The trial court had lost jurisdiction of the cause, and hence the motion is allowed. Dismissed.
