Eeed, J.
1The judgment appealed from was rendered on the seventh day of April, 1885, and the"appeal was perfected on the thirtieth of the same month. Appellant also filed a supersedeas bond, which was accepted and approved by the clerk of the district court. If the transcript and abstract and arguments had been filed in proper time, the cause would have been for hearing at the September term, 1885, of this court. The appellant, however, failed to bring any part of the record of the cause into this court before that term. But the appellee appeared, and filed a transcript of the judgment, and on his motion an order ivas made affirming the judgment of the district court. Judgment was also entered against the sureties on the supersedeas bond. After the adjournment of the court for that term, appellant filed a motion to set the order and judgment aside. One ground of this motion was that appellant had served notice of the dismissal of his appeal on the clerk of the district court and the appellee before the September term began, and at a subsequent term that motion was sustained. Before the March term, 1886, however, appellant filed a transcript and abstract .in the case, and both he and appellee have filed arguments on the merits of the case. Appellee also filed a motion to affirm the judgment of the district court, which was submitted with the case. The order setting aside the judgment on the supersedeas bond in effect determined that the appeal had been dismissed, and that this court had lost jurisdiction of the *83cause. Appellant, having obtained the benefit of this order, is not now entitled to go back, and prosecute his appeal. It may be that he could have taken a second appeal, but that question we will not consider, for there is no pretense that a second appeal was taken. We cannot, however, affirm the judgment; for, as stated above, the former order determines that we no longer have jurisdiction of the case. All that remains for us to do is to strike the cause from our docket, and that order will be made.
Stricken from the docket.
