St. 169.121. The state's brief was not filed until May 9,1973, and thereafter the case was set for hearing on October 1,1973. The appeal is dismissed because such appeal may not be heard and considered after the expiration of 6 months from the date of the order involved in the appeal. Minn. St. 632.13(6).
