Cross v. Tustin

NANCY CROSS, Appellant, v. JOHN TUSTIN et al., Respondents.

COUNSEL

Nancy Cross in pro. per. for Appellant.

Howard C. Campen, County Counsel, and Harry C. Nail, Jr., Assistant County Counsel, for Respondents.

OPINION

DOOLING, J.

[1] The appellant petitions this court to settle a narrative statement for use on her appeal alleging, with supporting affidavits, that the statement as settled by the trial court is incorrect. Under the holding in Burns v. Brown, 27 Cal. 2d 631 [166 P.2d 1] this court has no power to substitute its conclusion for that of the trial court as to what occurred before that court, particularly in the absence of a reporter. At page 636 of that case the court said that "when he (appellant) fails to convince the trial judge that his statement accurately reflects the proceedings in question, the action of the trial judge, who heard and tried the case, must be regarded as final."

Petition denied.

Nourse, P. J., and Goodell, J., concurred.
