Plaintiff obtained a judgment against the defendant in an action on a contract and after said judgment was entered a motion for new trial was filed which was over-ruled April 14, 1947, at which time defendant was given 60 days in which to make and serve case-made. Thereafter an extension of this order was obtained by virtue of which the defendant had until the 12th day of August, 1947, in which to serve the case-made. The case-made was not served until September 25, 1947.
A motion to dismiss has been filed for the reason that this court is without jurisdiction to consider the case-made served after time given had expired.
This court has many times held that where a case-made is not served within the 15 days allowed by 12 O.S. 1941 § 958[12-958], or some valid order extending the time for service, this court is without jurisdiction of the attempted appeal by case-made. Harjo v. Johnston, 162 Okla. 153, 19 P.2d 961; Harrell v. Cole,168 Okla. 423, 33 P.2d 613.
Appeal dismissed.
HURST, C.J., DAVISON, V.C.J., and BAYLESS, ARNOLD, and LUTTRELL, JJ., concur.
