OPINION

DICE, Judge.

The conviction is for robbery with firearms; the punishment, fifty years.

The record on appeal has not been approved, as required by Art. 40.09-7, Vernon's Ann.C.C.P.

The disposition of the appeal will be suspended to await the approval of the entire record and further proceedings which may be had in the trial court under Art. 40.09, supra, after such approval, as though the record had not been filed in this court. Stoker v. State, Tex.Cr.App., 415 S.W.2d 923.
