1919 OK CR 244
182 P. 732
16 Okl.Cr. 696
Decided: 08/12/1919
Oklahoma Court of Criminal Appeals

Appeal from County Court, Cotton County; J.C. Norman, Judge.

Lester Keeter was convicted of the crime of unlawful possession of intoxicating liquors, and sentenced to pay a fine of $200 and to serve 60 days in the county jail, and appeals. Judgment affirmed.

Lon Morris, for plaintiff in error.

The Attorney General, for the State.

PER CURIAM. This appeal has been pending in this court since the 9th day of January, 1918. On the 3d day of June, 1919, the case was called for submission. No appearance was made at that time by counsel representing plaintiff in error to orally argue the cause, nor has any brief been filed in behalf of plaintiff in error. At the time the cause was submitted, the Attorney General filed a motion to affirm the same for failure to diligently prosecute the appeal.

It is apparent that this appeal has been abandoned, as several extensions of time were granted to counsel for plaintiff in error for the purpose of briefing the cause, but no brief has been filed.
