Miller v. State of Indiana.
    [No. 29,526.
    Filed May 27, 1957.]
    
      Willie Miller, pro se.
    
    
      
      Edwin K. Steers, Attorney General, and Robert M. O’Mahoney, Deputy Attorney General, for respondents.
   Per Curiam.

The rule is now well established that a petition for a belated appeal must not only show cause for the delay but “. . . there must be a . . . prima facie showing made of merit to the appeal.” Ewbank’s Indiana Criminal Law, §541, p. 351, and cases cited.

Petitioner states as a conclusion “that there is a prima facie showing made of merits,” but fails completely to state any facts by which the merit of such appeal might be ascertained.

The petition is therefore dismissed.

Note. — Reported in 142 N. E. 2d 432.
