Text: BUCHANAN, Judge. STATEMENT OF THE CASE AND FACTS  A money judgment was entered by the trial court against defendant-appellant, Holiday Park Realty Corporation (Holiday) resulting from an action on account brought by plaintiff-appellee, Gateway Corporation (Gateway). This appeal followed. On December 18, 1969, this case was tried by the court without a jury. When concluded, the matter was taken under advisement and on January 15, 1970 judgment was entered for Holiday but without findings of facts and conclusions of law. The next day the court, on its own motion, vacated the judgment of the previous day, entering this Order on January 16, 1970: The Court being duly advised now sets judgment aside and sets date for completion of evidence and final argument for March 11, 1970 at 2:00 P.M. IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED ADJUDGED AND DECREED by the Court that Judgment heretofore rendered on January 15th, 1970 be and hereby is set aside and held for naught. (Tr. p. 19.) (Emphasis supplied.) On December 16, 1970, the court made an entry that no additional evidence had been submitted and took the matter under advisement until December 31, 1970, with briefs to be submitted. On June 8, 1971, judgment was entered against Holiday in the sum of $11,230.53 plus interest and the court also entered Findings of Facts and Conclusions of Law. Holiday timely filed its Motion to Correct Errors, which was overruled.
