§ 39-1-1. Judgments and decrees; interlocutory orders; period of control over final judgment

Any judgment, or decree, except in cases where trial by jury is necessary, may be

rendered by the judge of the district court at any place where he may be in this state,

and the district courts, except for jury trials, are declared to be at all times in

session for all purposes, including the naturalization of aliens. Interlocutory orders may be made by such judge wherever he may be in the state,

on notice, where notice is required, which notice, if outside of his district, may

be enlarged beyond the statutory notice, for such time as the court shall deem proper. Final judgments and decrees, entered by district courts in all cases tried pursuant

to the provisions of this section shall remain under the control of such courts for

a period of thirty days after the entry thereof, and for such further time as may

be necessary to enable the court to pass upon and dispose of any motion which may

have been filed within such period, directed against such judgment; provided, that

if the court shall fail to rule upon such motion within thirty days after the filing

thereof, such failure to rule shall be deemed a denial thereof; and, provided further,

that the provisions of this section shall not be construed to amend, change, alter

or repeal the provisions of Sections 4227 or 4230, Code 1915.
