Oklahoma Court of Criminal Appeals

(Syllabus.)

Appeal and Error Sufficiency of Evidence in Jury-Waived Case to Sustain Judgment and Sentence. Where appellant waived a jury and entered a plea of guilty, but being dissatisfied with the penalty assessed by the court has appealed to this court, and all record proceedings appear regular, the judgment and sentence appealed from will be and is affirmed.

Appeal from Court of Common Pleas, Tulsa County; Edmister, Judge.

William (Bill) Moulton was convicted of unlawful possession of intoxicating liquor, and he appeals. Affirmed.

O.C. Lassiter, Tulsa, for plaintiff in error.

Mac Q. Williamson, Atty. Gen., Sam H. Lattimore, Asst. Atty. Gen., and Lewis J. Bicking, County Atty., Tulsa County, Tulsa, for defendant in error.

POWELL, P.J.

The appeal of William (Bill) Moulton from a judgment entered by Judge Edmister, judge of the court of common pleas of Tulsa county, after a plea of guilty on the charge of unlawful possession of intoxicating liquor and assessing a fine of $150 and sixty days imprisonment in the county jail, must fail.

The sole ground for reversal in the petition in error is that the judgment and sentence is excessive.

No brief has been filed, and no appearance was made on the 10th day of June, 1953, when the case came on for oral argument. No error is apparent.

The judgment and sentence appealed from is affirmed.

JONES and BRETT, JJ. concur.
