[1] OPINION
[2] This is an attempted appeal from an order entered by the District Court, Oklahoma County, sustaining a motion to suppress in Case No. CRM-75-613, wherein Michael D. Conaughty is charged with Exhibiting Obscene Movies. However meritorious the State's position may be, no appeal can lie from an order entered by the trial court sustaining a motion to suppress, for the reasons set forth in State v. Robinson (No. 0-75-415), Okla. Cr. 544 P.2d 545.
[3] In State v. Robinson, supra, we cited with approval the decision of State v. Smith, 30 Okla. Cr. 144, 235 P. 273 (1925). If the State wishes to appeal on a reserved question of law under the provisions of 22 O.S. 1971 § 1053[22-1053], ¶ 3, they should proceed to trial before a jury, or the court if both parties agree to a waiver of trial by jury, *Page 554 
and if the Appellee is acquitted, the State may appeal on a question reserved by the State.
[4] For all of the reasons set forth in State v. Robinson, supra, we are of the opinion that the attempted appeal on a question of law reserved by the State is not properly before us, and the same is hereby, dismissed. The Clerk of this Court is directed to issue the Mandate forthwith.
