Head Matter:
TIPSON v. STATE.
No. 16303.
Court of Criminal Appeals of Texas.
Dec. 13, 1933.
T. A. Scruggs, of Menard, for appellant.
Lloyd W. Davidson, State’s Attorney, of Austin, for the State.

Opinion:
HAWKINS, Judge.
Conviction is for burglary, punishment assessed at two years' confinement in the penitentiary.
The record before this court fails to show any judgment of conviction. The record recites a verdict, but, if any judgment was entered thereon, it does not so appear. Furthermore, it fails to show that sentence was ever pronounced against appellant. We find the following recital in the transcript: "4 — 17-33—Defendant sentenced to confinement in the state penitentiary for a term of two (2d) years." This notation is not such a sentence as the law requires.
The appeal is dismissed.
