¶ 7 The State is given the power to appeal certain adverse rulings only if specifically provided for by statute. State v. Barnes, 1997 OK CR 81, ¶ 6, 952 P.2d 1001, 1002-1003; Robinson v. State, 1970 OK CR 365, 106 P.2d 531, 532-33 (Okla. Cr. 1940). Those limited, appealable matters are enumerated in 22 O.S. 1991 §§ 1053[ 22-1053] and 1089.1 [ 22-1089.1].
STAT. tit. 22, § 1087 (providing that "[a] final judgment" in a postconviction proceeding "may be appealed to the Court of Criminal Appeals on petition in error filed either by the applicant or the state within thirty (30) days from the entry of the judgment" and further providing that, "[u]pon motion of either party on filing of notice of intent to appeal, within ten (10) days of entering the judgment, the district court may stay the execution of the judgment pending disposition on appeal."); Weatherford, 13 P.3d at 987-89 (discussing § 1087 and explaining that "[t]his statute granting the right of post-conviction appeal conditions the right upon the appeal being commenced within thirty days. Thus if a party desires to invoke the appellate jurisdiction of this Court over post-conviction proceedings, he must do so within the time mandated by the Legislature"); State v. Barnes, 952 P.2d 1001, 1003 (Okla. Crim. App. 1997) ("Appeals, especially appeals by the State, are only required and allowed if specifically provided for by statute. Failure to follow the express provisions and steps necessary to perfect an appeal results in the waiver of the right to appeal and the dismissal of the appeal."
