Smith v. Superior Court
California Supreme Court
' APPLICATION for Writ of Mandate to the Superior Court of the City and County of San Francisco. J. C. B. Ilebbard, Judge. The facts are stated in the opinion of the court.'
1Opinion of the Court
THE COURT.
This is a petition for a writ of mandate requiring the superior court to enter a final decree of divorce.
In an action by petitioner against her husband the court heard the evidence, and an order was entered in its minutes reciting the submission and consideration of the cause, and adding: “It is ordered by the court that an interlocutory decree of divorce be entered herein in favor of the plaintiff on grounds of defendant’s willful neglect and desertion.” Nothing further was done. No findings were filed and no decree ever entered in the judgment-book.
