Syllabus by the Court ¶0 A case-made must be settled and signed by the judge who tried the case, and where the case is tried by one judge, and the case-made is settled and signed by another, and no showing is made as to the inability of the trial judge to do so, the case-made is a nullity, and brings nothing before this court for review. Appeal from District Court, Kay County; Claude Duval, Judge. W. J. Mahan, of Fairfax, and Ralph C. Haynes and J. F. Murray, both of Ponca City, for plaintiff in error. Maris & Maris, of Ponca City, for defendant in error. PER CURIAM. ¶1 This is an appeal from the judgment of the district court of Kay county, rendered on the 18th day of January, 1929, in an action wherein plaintiff in error was defendant. The issues of fact were submitted to the jury, with Claude Duval, judge of the district court of Kay county, presiding judge at the trial. As such presiding judge he rendered judgment in the cause and made the order overruling the motion for new trial. The case-made attached to the petition in error was settled and signed by W. C. Rice, a judge of the district court of the same district in which the cause was tried. ¶2 The defendant in error now moves this court to dismiss the appeal upon the grounds the case-made is a nullity, and brings nothing before this court for review, for the reason it was not settled and signed by the judge who tried the cause. No showing is made, in the record attached to the petition in error and filed in this court, as to the inability of the trial judge to settle and sign the case-made.
