Deen v. Kirk

WALKER, Justice.

This is an original mandamus proceeding. It was instituted by Betty L. Deen, relator, against F. Edgar Deen, Jr., and the Honorable Stanley C. Kirk, Judge of the 78th Judicial District of Wichita County, to require the latter to expunge an order purporting to set aside a divorce judgment previously rendered by him. We agree with relator that the judgment in question had become final and that Judge Kirk had no power to set it aside as he attempted to do. In accordance with our usual procedure in cases of this nature, the writ of mandamus will be granted conditionally.
