State v. Cox

Supreme Court of Nebraska
Mar 23, 1973
205 N.W.2d 546 (Neb. 1973)

Opinion

No. 38680.

Filed March 23, 1973.

Appeal from the district court for Lancaster County: HERBERT A. RONIN, Judge. Affirmed.

T. Clement Gaughan and Richard L. Goos, for appellant.

Clarence A. H. Meyer, Attorney General, and Calvin E. Robinson, for appellee.

Heard before WHITE, C. J., SPENCER, BOSLAUGH, SMITH, McCOWN, NEWTON, and CLINTON, JJ.


The defendant appeals from a conviction of willfully failing to return to the Nebraska Penal and Correctional Complex from a 27-hour furlough granted him by the Director of Corrections. 83-184, R.R.S. 1943. He was sentenced to a term of 1 year imprisonment, to be served consecutively to the sentence he was serving at the time of this offense. The defendant assigns as error that the sentence was excessive and that there was insufficient evidence to support the finding of guilt.

We have examined the record and determined that the judgment in this jury waived case is based on findings of fact which are clearly not erroneous, and that the sentence was not excessive. We have also determined that a detailed opinion would have no precedential value.

The judgment is accordingly affirmed. See Rule 20, Revised Rules of the Supreme Court.

AFFIRMED.
