BUSSEY, Presiding Judge,
concurs in results:
I would affirm the judgment and sentence entered by the trial court in the instant case without opinion for the reason that all questions sought to be raised in this appeal should have been raised by a direct appeal from the order certifying the appellant to stand trial. Title 10, Oklahoma Statutes 1975 Supp., § 1123 provides in pertinent part:
“. . . [Ajppeals taken from a trial court’s decision . . . in a proceeding certifying a juvenile to stand trial as an adult shall be taken to the Court of Criminal Appeals in the same manner as other appeals are taken to the Court of Criminal Appeals of this state, and provided further that an order certifying a juvenile to stand trial as an adult shall be a final order, appealable when entered.”
The appellant was represented by retained counsel who failed to perfect an appeal from the order certifying appellant to stand trial as an adult as authorized by § 1123, supra; this failure to appeal in the manner provided by law waives all defects, if any, and does not preserve any issue for review on appeal from the judgment and sentence rendered against the appellant.
Had the appellant appealed from the order certifying him to stand trial as an adult and properly raised the issues here sought to be raised I would have concurred in the opinion written by my colleague Judge *155Brett, holding these assignments of error to be without merit.
