Teegarden v. Teegarden , 80 Ohio App. 79 ( 1947 )

This cause is submitted on motion of appellees to strike the bill of exceptions on the ground that it was not filed within the time prescribed by law.

There is no memorandum in support of the motion, but it may be assumed that the motion is directed to the facts of record in the trial court. The motion for new trial was overruled December 30, 1946. The bill of exceptions was filed in the trial court on February 15, 1947, which was 47 days after the overruling of the motion for new trial.

The filing of the bill of exceptions in the trial court within 40 days after the overruling of the motion for a new trial, as required by Section 11564, General Code, is mandatory.
