Opinion:
PER CURIAM.
Appellant, Ralph G. Lemke, was indicted for violating Alaska Compiled Laws Annotated 1949, § 65-5-81, was arraigned, pleaded not guilty, was tried and, on February 27, 1952, was found guilty. A judgment sentencing appellant was entered on March 14, 1952. From that judgment — the only judgment entered in the case — no appeal was taken. However, on March 11, 1952, three days before the judgment was entered, appellant took what purported to be an appeal from a judgment entered on March 10, 1952. There was no such judgment. Therefore the appeal is dismissed. Cf. Prickett v. Consolidated Liquidating Corp., 9 Cir., 180 F.2d 8.
