Description
The opinion of the court was delivered by The appellant, H.V. Harrison, a Kansas resident, was served on April 2, 1974, with an order of garnishment by Gulf Insurance Company, the appellee. The order was based upon a judgment Gulf had obtained against one A.V. Bovee in Missouri, and which it had registered in Kansas under our Uniform Enforcement of Foreign Judgments Act, K.S.A. 1974 Supp. 60-3001, et seq. The day after being served with the order Harrison filed a motion to quash the garnishment. On April 19, 1974, the district court of Sedgwick County overruled the motion to quash, but stayed any further action on the garnishment until the disposition of Bovee's motion for a new trial then pending before the Missouri court. Harrison has attempted to appeal from the district court's order overruling his motion to quash. In this case, as in all others, this court is obligated to determine whether or not it has jurisdiction even though the issue is not raised by the parties. Lira v.
