Head Matter:
COLEMAN et al. v. ADAMS.
No. 7760.
Opinion Filed April 11, 1916.
(155 Pac. 1150.)
Error from District Court, Carter County; W. F. Freeman, Judge.
Action by Arthur Adams against W. D. Coleman and others. Judgment for plaintiff, and defendants bring error.
Dismissed.
Gordon Fryer and Brown & Brown, for plaintiffs in error.
E. A. Ledbetter, for defendant in error.

Opinion:
PER CURIAM.
This cause was tried to the court on an agreed statement of facts, attached to which were certain exhibits. Judgment was rendered in favor of plaintiff on March 16, 1915, and defendants bring the case here.
The motion to dismiss is sustained, for the reason that the case-made was not served on the opposite party or his attorney within 15 days after judgment was rendered, or within any valid extension of time, as required by Rev. Laws 1910, sec. 5242; and this, too, although the motion for new trial was filed within three days after judgment, and on May 31st was overruled, and plaintiffs in error granted time within which to perfect their appeal.. This for the reason stated in Manes v. Hoss, 28 Okla. 489, 114 Pac. 698. There we said:
"Where a motion for a new trial is unnecessary to present for review to this court the matters complained of in the petition in error, the filing of such motion and decision. thereon by the court is ineffectual for the purpose " of extending the time within which to perfect an appeal; and the time begins to run from the rendition of the judgment appealed from, and not from the order overruling the motion for a new trial. Springfield Fire & M. Ins. Co. v. Gish, Brook & Co., 28 Okla. 824, 102 Pac. 708."
The appeal is dismissed.
