(Syllabus.)

Prohibition — Temporary Order Restraining Enforcement of Money Judgment Pending Appeal Vacated Upon Affirmance of Cause and Writ of Prohibition Denied.

Record examined, and held, that where, upon appeal being lodged in this court without a supersedeas bond, the plaintiff seeks to have the trial court restrained from enforcing the money judgment pending the appeal in this court, and a temporary order is made therein by this court staying proceedings to enforce collection of the money judgment, upon the decision of this court affirming the judgment of the lower court, the temporary order of this court will be vacated and set aside, and the petition for writ of prohibition denied.

Application by Jeanneta Barnett for writ of prohibition to Harve L. Melton, District Judge of McIntosh County, Okla., et al. Writ denied.

R.S. Cate and Turner, Turner Parris, for plaintiff.

Clark Nichols and Jack Nichols, for defendant.


This case, No. 23415, wherein the plaintiff petitions the Supreme Court for a writ of prohibition against Harve L. Melton, district judge of the fourth judicial district of the state of Oklahoma, et al., to prohibit said parties from proceeding to carry out a judgment rendered in cause No. 6384, pending in the district court of McIntosh county, Okla., in favor of the defendant, George Barnett, and against the plaintiff; and said cause No. 23307, pending herein, having been finally determined upon appeal by this court, and the judgment of the trial court, in case No. 23307, 158 Okla. 270, 13 P.2d 104, having been affirmed by this court favorable to defendant, we see no good reason why the writ of prohibition should issue to restrain the district court of McIntosh county, Okla., from carrying out its judgment.

It further appearing that defendants have filed their motion to dismiss the application of plaintiff for a writ of prohibition, said motion is denied. The temporary order of this court made herein, staying proceedings to enforce collection of said judgment, is set aside and vacated. The petition for the writ of prohibition in case No. 23415 is denied.

CLARK, V. C. J., and RILEY, HEFNER, SWINDALL, McNEILL, and KORNEGAY, JJ., concur. LESTER, C. J., and ANDREWS, J., absent.
