The Attorney General has filed a motion to; dismiss the appeal, for the reason that the same was not filed in this court within the time allowed by section 2808, Compiled Statutes 1921. This being an attempted appeal from a judgment of conviction for a misdemeanor, the longest period allowed by law after rendition of the judgment for filing the appeal in this court is 120 days. The appeal was not lodged in this court until 150 days after rendition of the judgment. This court has never acquired jurisdiction of the appeal, and the same is therefore dismissed.
