No statement of facts accompanies the record.

The State moves to dismiss this appeal on the ground that no notice of appeal appears in the minutes of the court. We find a docket entry, but such is not sufficient to confer jurisdiction upon this Court. Art. 827, Vernon's Ann.C.C.P.; Clifton v. State, Tex.Cr.App., 329 S.W.2d 871.

The State's motion is granted and the appeal is dismissed.
