Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Clayton County, Richard D. Stochl, Judge. DISTRICT COURT RULING VACATED AND CASE REMANDED. Considered by Tabor, P.J., and Badding and Buller, JJ. Opinion by Tabor, P.J. (4 pages)
Manuel Seenster Jr. appeals an order denying his motion for new trial on a remand from this court. OPINION HOLDS: Because the district court entered the order on a remand before procedendo issued on the first appeal, the district court lacked jurisdiction. And because the district court lacked jurisdiction, the order is a nullity. We vacate the order denying the motion for new trial—which leaves us nothing to review. The case is remanded for the district court to address the pending new trial motion.
