John Edward Saff and John Franklin Lax, both of Chicago, Ill., for appellant.

Michael L. Igoe, U.S. Atty., and Roy D. Keehn, Jr., and Raymond P. Drymalski, Asst. U.S. Attys., all of Chicago, Ill., for appellee.

Before EVANS and MAJOR, Circuit Judges, and LINDLEY, District Judge.

EVANS, Circuit Judge.

This appeal is from a ruling by the District Court which denied three motions made by appellant. One motion was to vacate a judgment previously entered in favor of appellee against appellant. Another was to 'quash service of fieri facias.' The third motion was to 'quash service of notice of levy.'

The motion does not state that the notice of levy and the service of the fieri facias were in the above entitled cause, but such fact is inferable. Appellant's petition for leave to appeal 'prays an appeal to said United States Circuit Court of Appeals for the Seventh District (Circuit) and further prays that the Court enter such order as is required on the Plaintiff to appear, etc. ' It does not describe the order from which the appeal is sought. It ends as follows:

'Wherefore your petitioner prays that she be granted an appeal from the United States District Court in and for the Northern District of Illinois, Eastern District, to the United States Circuit Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit, in accordance with the rules and the Statute in such case made and provided, and that the court enter such other and further orders in the premises as this court shall deem meet.'

The District Court, referring to the petition for allowance of an appeal, ordered that it be 'allowed on Defendant's filing herein her appeal bond,' etc. Although neither the petition nor the order which allowed the appeal specifically designated the ruling from which the appeal was taken, it is fair to assume from the briefs that appellant intended to appeal from the order which denied her motion to vacate a judgment, and it is likewise inferable that the judgment is the one entered in favor of appellee against appellant on a recognizance by her given in a criminal case. The second ruling which appellant treats as a part of the same order denied her motion to quash service of fieri facias, and the third ruling also a part of the same order denied her motion to quash service of notice of levy. Again it is inferable, although not stated, that the execution was issued on the judgment rendered in the above entitled cause.

The appeal must be dismissed as to two of the orders because they are not appealable, and this court therefore is without jurisdiction to hear them.

An order denying a motion to quash an execution is not appealable. Loeber v. Schroeder, 149 U.S. 580, 13 S.Ct. 934, 37 L.Ed. 856; McCargo v. Chapman, 20 How. (61 U.S.) 555, 15 L.Ed. 1021; Amis v. Smith, 16 Pet. (41 U.S.) 303, 10 L.Ed. 973; Evans v. Gee, 14 Pet. (39 U.S.) 1, 10 L.Ed. 327; 2 American Jurisprudence, page 913.

An order denying motion to quash service of fieri facias is not appealable. Wells, F. & Co. v. McGregor, 13 Wall. 188, 20 L.Ed. 538; Cole v. Rustgard (C.C.A.) 68 F.2d 316.

An order denying a motion to vacate a judgment is likewise not ordinarily appealable. Smith v. U.S. ex rel. Gorlo (C.C.A.) 52 F.2d 848; 2 Am.Juris.page 904; Republic Supply Co. v. Richfield Oil Co. (C.C.A.) 74 F.2d 907, 909, ...
