41 P. 483
In the Matter of the Estate of JOHN LEVINSON, Deceased
No. 15916
Supreme Court of California
November 23, 1895
Department Two
108 Cal. 450 at 459.
Original Opinion of August 6, 1895, Reported at 108 Cal. 450.
OPINION
THE COURT A motion having been made to recall the remittitur, the following opinion was rendered thereon on the 23d of November, 1895:
The Court.
Motion to recall the remittitur herein for the purpose of securing a modifical of the direction made therein for the payment of the costs of the appeal.
Without reference to the merits of the motion, it comes too late. The remittitur was regularly issued on September 6, 1895, and this motion was not noticed until October 18th following. If respondent desired a modification of the judgment in any respect, the proper application should have been made before the going down of the remittitur. (Gray v. Palmer , 11 Cal. 341.) When the remittitur has been duly and regularly issued, without inadvertence, we have no power to recall it. This court thereupon loses jurisdiction of the cause, except in a case of mistake, or of fraud or imposition practiced upon the court, neither of which elements appear in this case. (People v. Sprague , 57 Cal. 147; Rowland v. Kreyenhagen , 24 Cal. 52.)
Motion denied.
