HANSEN, Presiding Judge,
dissenting:
Wright urges six points of law as trial error in his petition in error. None of these issues raised the claim he should have been allowed to amend his petition in order to cure the defects. He makes no allegation in the petition in error that any defect could be remedied. Neither does the record reflect that he sought to amend his petition to cure a defect. The majority does not address any of the enumerated errors Wright alleges are reasons for setting aside the default judgment. In my view, Kelly v. Abbott does not preclude a plaintiff from appealing from a dismissal of his petition if he chooses not to amend. The majority is deciding this case on an issue not raised in this appeal. I therefore dissent.
