A copy of the said parole and acceptance of same are attached to the motion to dismiss the appeal. A motion to dismiss this appeal was served upon counsel for plaintiff in error in the month of April, 1923, and no response has been made thereto.
The motion to dismiss the appeal is sustained upon authority of the following cases: Odom v. State, 8 Okla. Cr. 540, 129 Pac. 445; Ernst v. State, 17 Okla. Cr. 282, 187 Pac. 930; Brown v. State, 16 Okla. Cr. 505, 184 Pac. 912.
