[1] This is an original proceeding herein by John Smith, Jr., an inmate of the penitentiary, seeking a writ of mandamus for casemade for an appeal. It appears in a response by the District Court of Tulsa County, Oklahoma, that the request was denied for the following reasons to wit:
[2] (1) The judgment and sentence was entered upon petitioner's plea of guilty and his request for casemade was frivolous.
[3] (2) The petitioner does not state petitioner is without friends or relatives who could finance said appeal;
[4] (3) The petitioner does not state his counsel is unable to prepare the casemade from memory. The petition is defective in all the foregoing respects; under these conditions the writ must be denied. Application of Mennelli, Okla. Cr. 332 P.2d 38.
[5] It is apparent this petition is wholly without merit and the Writ of Mandamus for casemade is denied.
[6] POWELL, P.J., and NIX, J., concur.
