Griffin v. State

Opinion of the Court

PRENDERGAST, Presiding Judge.

Appellant was assessed the lowest penalty on a conviction for unlawfully carrying a pistol.

The court at which he was convicted adjourned Hovember 14, 1914. What purports to be a statement of facts was filed some seventy-four days later. The Assistant Attorney General moves to strike the document out and not consider it because filed too late. It would be necessary to grant his motion ordinarily. But a careful examination of the record discloses that no notice of appeal was given and entered in the *307 court "below. Hence, this court has no jurisdiction of this case and it will,' therefore, he dismissed.

Dismissed.
