SIMMS, Judge
(specially concurring).
While my learned colleague in his “special concurring opinion” wishes to instruct the trial judge to consider the defendant for a suspended sentence under the provisions of 22 O.S.1971, § 994, he obviously overlooks the basic legal proposition that the trial court is without jurisdiction to even consider the defendant for a suspended sentence until the defendant has requested the same within ten days following the final order of this Court.
What the trial judge in the instant case would decide if such an application were filed can be of no consequence to this Court for the very reason the statute referred to provides any order granting or denying suspension after affirmance of a conviction is a non-appealable order.
I would therefore affirm the conviction and leave the question of probation rest where the Legislature placed it, in the trial court.
