[1] ORDER
[2] This is an attempted appeal under Title 22 O.S.Supp. 1980 § 1053[22-1053] from an order of the District Court of Tulsa County, which sustained a motion to quash and motion to suppress and dismissed Cases No. CRF-81-516, CRF-81-517, CRF-81-518 *Page 1267 
and CRF-81-515. This statute provides for appeals by the State in certain cases, however this statute does not allow the State to appeal a motion to quash for insufficient evidence sustained by the district court, but only for indictment set aside pursuant to 22 O.S. 1971 § 493[22-493].
[3] The authority of the district court to enter the order of dismissal was founded on 22 O.S. 1971 § 815[22-815]. Title 22 O.S. 1971 § 817[22-817], provides that such a dismissal is not a bar to any other prosecution for the same offense. Since the court's order in dismissing Cases No. CRF-81-516, CRF-81-517, CRF-81-518 and CRF-81-515 does not bar a refiling of information and is not a bar to subsequent prosecution in the same cases, the appeal is DISMISSED.
[4] IT IS, THEREFORE, THE ORDER OF THIS COURT that the above styled and numbered cause should be, and hereby is, DISMISSED.
