H. T. HAMPTON v. STATE.
    No. A-2762.
    Opinion Filed January 17, 1917.
    (162 Pac. 237.)
    APPEAL AND .ERROR — Dismissal. Where the case-made failed to show that the trial court had extended the time within which to perfect: an appeal, the appeal in a misdemeanor case must be dismissed, it not having been taken within the 60 days allowed by statute.
    
      Appeal from County Court, Okmulgee County; Mark L. Bozarth, Judge.
    
    H. T. Hampton, convicted of a violation of the prohibitory law, appeals.
    Appeal dismissed.
    
      E. M. Carter, for plaintiff, in error.
    
      R. McMillan, Asst. Atty. Gen., and R. E. Simpson, Co. Atty., for the State.
   PER CURIAM.

The plaintiff in error, H. T. Hampton, was convicted in the county court of Okmulgee county on a charge that he did have' possession of six quarts of whisky with the intention of selling the same. On the 17th day of February, he was sentenced to be confined in the county jail for 60 days and to pay a fine of $100, and $56 costs. From the judgment an appeal was attempted to be taken by filing in this court on June 14, 1916, a petition in error with case-made. The state has filed a motion to dismiss the appeal for the reason that the same was not taken within the statutory 60 days, no order of the court extending the time to appeal having been granted.

No answer or responsé to the motion to dismiss has been filed, and a careful examination of the case-made fails to disclose that the trial court or judge' made any order extending the time within which to perfect the appeal. It follows that the motion to dismiss must be sustained.

The purported appeal is therefore dismissed, and the cause remanded to the trial court, with direction to enforce its judgment therein. -
