Analysis

No analysis yet. When one exists it is a model's reading of this opinion — the rulings it reviewed, whether it agrees with the court, and the authorities it checked — shown beside the court's own disposition, never in place of it. How analyses are made.

Opinion — Fox

Fox, J.

— The appeal in this case must be treated as an appeal from the judgment and order denying the motion for new trial. Under the notice, nothing will come under review on the hearing which would not be subject to review if the notice had omitted the words “ and from each and every order and judgment made and entered in said cause.”

Treating the appeal as being from the judgment and the order denying the motion for new trial only, as we think it must be treated, and the same not being separately taken, the undertaking is sufficient in form and in substance. ( Chester v. Bakersfield T. H. Ass’n, 64 Cal. *43142; Corcoran v. Desmond, 71 Cal. 102, 103.) The other cases cited in support of the motion to dismiss the appeal are not in point.

Motion to dismiss the appeal denied.

Sharpstein, J., McFarland, J., Paterson, J., and Thornton, J., concurred.

Concurrence — Works

Works, J., concurring.

— I concur. The notice of appeal and undertaking are in bad form, and in some cases might render the appeal abortive; but there is nothing in the record here to which the unnecessary recitals therein can apply, except the appeal from the judgment and order denying a new trial. But while this mode of procedure is harmless in this instance, it should not be encouraged.
