Co-Op. Gin & Elevator Co. v. Asbury

TURNER, J. This cause was tried in the court below before a judge pro tempore, who, on December 4, 1911, overruled a motion for a new trial, and made and entered an order extending the time for plaintiff in error to make and serve a case-made for a period of^ 60 days from said date. In the same order plaintiff was given ten days thereafter to suggest amendments, the case-made to be signed and settled upon three day’s notice by either party. But the same was not signed and settled by the judge pro tempore until the 2d day of May, 1912. The motion of defendant in error to dismiss, on the ground that the judge pro tempore was without power to sign and settle the *142 case-made after the time fixed in the order had expired, is sustained.
