Nlhili'I' ''h' Nli''Ill'
Dear Sir.
have examined the law relative to
the taking of appeals from your court
10 the ,ounty court of Carter county.
am of the opinion that under the
law. no appeal can be taken. RE
right of appeal is not an inherent r'sht
but must be based on some constitu-
'ional or statutory provision.
The constitution of Oklahoma In
dcfinig the appellate jurisdiction of
the county court, provides as follows
Sec. IL. 'F' 1t shal, have such APP
pcllato jurisdictioa of the Judgment
of the Justice of the Peace in civil
and criminal casosa may he provld-
ed by law or in this constitution. "
Sec. II. &c" Until otherwise pre-
'idcd by law, the county court shall
nave jurisdiction of al eases oh ap.
Ceals from judgments of the Jast.,'
Of the Peace In ciyil a,d criminal
"ases. ""-Articlc :, Snyders Cm.
stitution of Oklahoma.
/ rhis is the only provision find
n our constitution relative TO the ap-
/ pollate jurisdiction of the couaty
| court. You vii readily see that the
same does not provide for appeal
from the municipal court.
There IS an old statute of Oklahoma
which provides for appeals from the
Decision OF Police Judges" to the
county court. | do not believe that
this would give the right of appeal
from the municipal court as the ma
| nicipal court is created by t.e char
/ tor and is separate and distinct
rourt from the police judge. The pro
vision I'm the charter of Ardmore,
granting an appeal by either party
from the municipal court to the coun
ty court for Carter county. could not
possibly confer jurisdiction upon the
county court as jurisdiction of the
county court is defined and prescribed
by the constitution Of the state, or Act
Of the Legislature
therefore think that no appeaI
should be allowed by you in any case
to the county court
Very truly yours,
j. B. MOORE,
City Attorney.
