BURFORD, C. J.:

¶1 This purports to be an appeal from a judgment of the district court of Payne county. The record consists of a case-made, regularly served, signed, authenticated, and filed. The case-made contains no copy of the judgment or final order of the court in said cause. After the case was filed in this court the plaintiff in error moved for a writ of certiorari to the clerk of the district court to bring up a transcript of the judgment. This motion can avail the plaintiff in error nothing, for it is the rule of this court that a case-made, when duly served, signed, authenticated, and filed, cannot be amended or supplemented in this court. The appeal is dismissed at costs of plaintiff in error.

¶2 All of the Justices concurring.
