No. 9086.
June 9, 1939.
Appeal from the District Court of the United States for the Southern District of Texas; James V. Allred, Judge.
William Roy Miller and others were convicted of an offense, and they appeal. On motion to dismiss the appeal.
Motion to dismiss granted.
Robert W. Cole, of Atlanta, Ga., and William Roy Miller, of Leavenworth, Kan., in pro. per., for appellants.
Douglas W. McGregor, U.S. Atty., and George P. Red, Asst. U.S. Atty., both of Houston, Tex.
Before FOSTER, HUTCHESON, and HOLMES, Circuit Judges.
It appears from the record appellants were sentenced on March 14, 1939. They asked leave to appeal in forma pauperis on April 5, 1939, which was granted. Notice of appeal was filed April 5, 1939. No motion for a new trial had extended the time for appealing. The appeal was not taken within five days after the judgment of conviction and was too late to have any effect. Rule 3, Criminal Appeals Rules, 28 U.S.C.A. following section 723a.
The motion to dismiss is granted.
