W. E. Fenimore, Temporary Administrator v. Mrs. Henrie M. Youngs and R. B. Minor, District Judge.
No. 5548.
Decided April 9, 1930.
(26 S. W., 2d Series, 195.)
E. P. Lipscomb, for relator, Fenimore.

Opinion:
ON MOTION FOR REHEARING.
A district judge will take judicial cognizance of orders entered by himself, in his own court, during the period of a few months prior to this litigation (as here of his order appointing Fenimore temporary administrator and authorizing him to bring such suit).
A district judge has no discretion to refuse to enter a default judgment (Rev. Stats., Art. 2154).
