State v. Berry

Opinion of the Court

PROVO STY, J.

The only matter submitted for review in this case is contained in a bill of exception which the trial judge refused to sign as having been presented too late under the rule of his court.

That a judge may refuse to sign a bill thus presented to him after the expiration of the delay fixed by the rule of his court for the presentation of bills, and that such an unsigned bill presents nothing for review, was decided in State v. Lee, 116 La. 607, 40 South. 914.

Judgment affirmed.
