Plaintiff has purported to appeal from a minute order entitled "Order Striking File From Court Records and Directing That No Further Proceedings Be Had." (1) The order, which is set forth below, operated to remove any cause of action which plaintiff had alleged against defendant, and left no issues to be determined between the parties.
