On May 8, 1940, defendant and appellant filed a notice of appeal from a judgment of conviction of the offenses of burglary and petit theft, with prior felony convictions.

(People v. Rutledge, 114 Cal. App. 728 [300 Pac. 828] ; People v. Lau, 19 Cal. App. (2d) 243 [64 Pac. (2d) 1142] ; People v. Lewis, 219 Cal. 410 [27 Pac. (2d) 73] ; People v. Gilbert, 28 Cal. App. (2d) 121 [82 Pac. (2d) 25].)
The motion to dismiss the appeal is granted and the appeal is dismissed.
