Gallegos v. People
Gallegos v. People
Opinion of the Court
delivered the opinion of the court.
Joe Gallegos was found guilty of the crime of grand larceny, and, on March 20, 1950, sentenced to a term in the state penitentiary. Thereafter he sued out a writ of error, and on October 30, 1950, the judgment of the district court was affirmed by us without written opinion. 122 Colo. 508, 223 P. (2d) 1045.
We take judicial notice of the fact that March 20, 1950, was in the January, 1950, term of said district court in Montrose County, Colorado, which term expired on the first Monday in June, 1950. It is well-settled law in this jurisdiction that after the expiration of the term of the district court at which a judgment is pronounced, as well as the affirmance of the judgment by this court, the district court is without jurisdiction to entertain a motion for a new trial. Smith v. People, 120 Colo. 39, 206 P. (2d) 826.
Accordingly, the judgment is affirmed.
