Opinion:
WHITING, P. J.
The time for appealing from the judgment of the trial court expired June 30, 19x8, unless such time was extended because of pending motion for new trial. Prior to said, date a motion for new trial was duly and regularly presented to the trial count, and said1 motion was denied after .such date. Within 60 days from the date of the order denying the new trial, appellant attempted to appeal both from the judgment and from the order denying- a new trial. Respondent seeks the dismissal of such appeal.
Appellant contends that respondent stipulated for an extension of time for appeal. iSucb a stipulation, if entered into, was of' nio effect. 3 C. J. 1,074. The trial court ¡made an order purporting to extend the time for appeal. Such order was beyond the jurisdiction of such court..
Respondent contends that the judgment of the trial court never became a "final judgment" for purposes of appeal until the ruling upon the motion for new trial. 'Such is the holding in many states; (but, under our statute (section 442, C. C. P., as amended iby chapter 201, Laws 1917) which specifically provides that the appeal be taken within a certain time after the filing of the judgment roll, such time is not extended because of a pending motion for new trial. The authorities supporting the two lines, of holdings will be found collated in 3 C. J. 1051-1053, and in note to Conradt v. Lepper, 3 Ann. Cas. 630. 631.
It follows that the attempted appeal .from the judgment was of no effect, hut the loss of the right to appeal from' the judgment in no manner deprived! appellant of his right to appeal from the order denying the new trial. Brison v. Brison, 90 Cal. 327, 27 Pac. 186; Houser, etc., v. Hargrove, 129 Cal. 90, 61 Pac. 660; King v. Hanson, 13 N. D. 85, 99 N. W. 1085; Mueller Lumber Co. v. McCaffrey, 141 Iowa, 730, 118 N. W. 903.
The appeal, so far as it purports to be an appeal from the judgment, is of no effect; and is 'dismissed.
