Wiederrecht v. The People.
Appellate Pbactioe — Piling Absteacts and Bbiefs — Extension of Time.
An application for the extension of time for filing abstracts and briefs either in a criminal or civil cause must be made within the time prescribed by the rules for such filing, and an application made after the expiration of such time will not be granted.
Error to the District Court of Arapahoe County.
Messrs. Wabd & Wabd and Mr. John A. DeWeese, for plaintiff in error.
■ Mr. D. M. Campbell, attorney general, Mr. Calvin E. Reed and Mr. Dan B. Cabey, for the people.

Opinion:
Peb Cubiam.
The abstract and plaintiff in error's brief were not filed within the time prescribed by our rules. After the expiration of the time thereby limited, plaintiff in error applied for an extension. The application comes too late.
Where a party, either in a civil or criminal cause, desires an extension of time for the doing of an act which our rules prescribe shall be done within a specified time, the application for such extension must be made within the time so fixed, and not afterwards.
The writ of error should therefore be dismissed for want of prosecution, and it is so ordered.
Writ of error dismissed.
