JOHN ROGERS v. STATE.
    No. A-9230.
    Sept. 10, 1937.
    (71 Pac. 2d 635.)
    D. E. Ashmore, for plaintiff in error.
    Mac Q. Williamson, Atty. Gen.,, for the State.
   DAVENPORT, P. J.

In the information in this case, John Rogers was charged with the crime of burglary in the second degree, alleged to have been committed in ¡Seminole county on the 12th day of October, 1935. Upon his plea of guilty, the court assessed his punishment at imprisonment in the state penitentiary for a term of two years. Prom the judgment of the court on the 19th day of May, 1936, an appeal was taken by filing in this court on November 17, 1936, a petition in error with case-made.

There has been presented to this court legal authority showing that the plaintiff in error has been granted a parole on August 9, 1937; that the said parole was signed and accepted on the 19th day of August, 1937, and filed in the Secretary of State’s office on August 20, 1937.

Where a plaintiff in error accepts a parole pending the determination of his appeal, he thereby waives the right to have his appeal determined, and, when the attention of this court shall be called judicially to the fact that a parole has been granted and accepted, his appeal will be dismissed. Baxter v. State, 24 Okla. Cr. 41, 215 Pac. 639.

It is therefore adjudged and ordered that the appeal herein be dismissed, and the cause remanded to the district court of Seminole county.

DOYLE and BAREFOOT, JJ., concur.
