Allen v. County of San Bernardino

Supreme Court of California
Jun 4, 1887

         OPINION

         THE COURT

         The board of supervisors by resolution directed the district attorney to ask this court to dismiss the appeal herein. The motion was made accordingly, counsel who had appeared specially in the court below for defendant objecting to the granting of the motion.

         As between the board of supervisors and district attorney on the one hand, and an attorney claiming to be special counsel for the defendant on the other, the former are superior in authority, and have a right to co ntrol all proceedings in a case to which the [14 P. 19] county is a party, at least in the absence of an objection by the attorney-general.

         It is therefore ordered that the appeal herein be and the same is hereby dismissed.
