HOUSER, J., Concurring and Dissenting.
I concur generally in the foregoing order, but dissent from that part of the order by which this court purports to “withhold approval” of certain designated “statements” which occur in the opinion of the District Court of Appeal. As far as I know, this court is unauthorized to assert its approval or disapproval with respect to an opinion of any other court. In that regard, the only possible source of power is contained in the language which appears in sections 4 and 4c, article VI, of the Constitution of this state; but in neither of such sections of the Constitution is language employed which either *371expressly or impliedly purports to authorize this court to assume either to approve or to disapprove of any “statement” which may be made by the District Court of Appeal. My views with reference to the authority of this court in a situation such as here is under consideration are more fully stated regarding a similar order that was made by this court in pursuance of a petition to hear an appeal after decision thereof by the District Court of Appeal in the case of Wires v. Litle, 27 Cal. App. (2d) 240, 245 [80 Pac. (2d) 1010, 82 Pac. (2d) 388].
