Plaintiff in Error, David Milton Sprouse, -was convicted in the District Court of ■Oklahoma County with the crime of Taking Indecent Liberties with a Female Child “Under the Age of Fourteen Years. From -that conviction he has attemptеd to appeаl -to this Court by casemade with petition in error attached.
This cаuse was filed in this Court on Mаy 3, 1967. On June 1, 1967, the Attorney ■Genеral filed a Motion tо Dismiss on the grounds that the сasemade does not contain -a judgment and sentence, оr show whether -the defendant is in the penitentiаry or on bail.
No attempt to refute the Mоtion has been -madе, and the case was set for argument on -thе motion on September 20, 1967; at which -time the cause was submitted.
The lаw is clear and cоncise on this matter. Wе have stated reрeatedly, as in Greеnwood v. State, Okl.Cr., 375 P.2d 661:
“Wherе casemade dоes not contain fоrmal judgment and sentence, the record сannot be considеred even as a trаnscript, and the aрpeal will be dismissed.”
Therefore, the state’s Motion to Dismiss is sustained, and the attempted appeal dismissed, judgmеnt and sentence affirmed.
BUSSEY and BRETT, JJ., concur.
