Taylor v. State

Criminal Court of Appeals of Oklahoma

272 P. 1037 (Okla. Crim. App. 1928)

Opinion

No. A-6365.

Opinion Filed December 29, 1928.

Appeal from District Court, Garfield County; James B. Cullison, Judge.

Herman Taylor was convicted of unlawful possession of narcotic drugs, and he appeals. Affirmed.

L.C. McLean, for plaintiff in error.

Edwin Dabney, Atty. Gen., J.H. Lawson, Asst. Atty. Gen., and Dan Mitchell, Co. Atty., for the State.


The plaintiff in error was convicted of unlawful possession of narcotic drugs, and sentenced to serve a term of three years in the state penitentiary.

Judgment was entered on March 10, 1926, and appeal was lodged in this court on September 8, 1926. Extension of time to file briefs has been made, but the last extension has long since expired, and no briefs have been filed, nor was there any appearance for oral argument at the time the case was submitted.

Where an appeal is prosecuted to this court upon conviction for a felony and no briefs in support of the appeal filed, and no appearance for oral argument made, this court will not search the record to discover some error upon which to predicate a reversal, but will examine the record for jurisdictional or fundamental errors, and, if none appear and the evidence reasonably supports the verdict, the judgment will be affirmed. An examination of the record here discloses no jurisdictional or fundamental error.

The case is affirmed.

DOYLE, P.J., and DAVENPORT, J., concur.
