MODERN BOOK AND NEWS CO. et al. v. STERNMAN

(Syllabus.)

1. Appeal and Error — Record — "Record Proper."

The record proper in a civil action, under the procedure in this state, consists of the petition, answer, reply, demurrers process, rulings, orders, and judgment.

2. Same — Action on Motion for New Trial — Review.

A motion for new trial and the action of the court in overruling the same, being no part of the record proper, the assignment that the court erred in overruling the motion cannot be presented to this court by transcript of the record.

3. Same — Rulings on Motions — Presentation for Review.

Motions presented to the trial court, the rulings thereon, and exceptions thereto, are not properly part of the record, and can only be preserved and presented for review on appeal by incorporating the same in a bill of exceptions or case-made.

JOHNSON, J.

This is an appeal by transcript. The petition in error contains but one assignment, which is:

"Said court erred in overruling the motion of plaintiffs in error for new trial."

The motion to dismiss this appeal was filed, with proof of service thereon, on May 2, 1922. To which no response has been made.

A motion for new trial, and the action of the court in overruling the same, being no part of the record, without case-made or bill of exception, cannot be presented to the court by transcript. Collins v. Garvey, 67 Oklahoma, 171 P. 330; Wyant v. Beavers, 63 Okla. 68, 162 P. 732; Miller v. Markley, 49 Okla. 177, 152 P. 345; Vannier v. Frat. Aid Ass'n, 40 Okla. 732, 140 P. 1021; Williams v. Kelly, 71 Oklahoma, 176 P. 204.

In the absence of a case-made or bill of exceptions, the errors complained of cannot be considered. The motion to dismiss must be sustained, and it is so ordered.

HARRISON, C. J., and ELTING, KENNAMER, and NICHOLSON, JJ., concur.
