PER CURIAM. Bert Files was tried and convicted in the county court of Garfield county of a violation of the prohibition law, and was on the 21st day of March, A.D., 1908, sentenced to pay a fine of $100 and costs, and to be imprisoned for a period of 60 days in the county jail. On March 19, 1909, there was filed with the clerk of this court a petition in error with case-made attached. On December 27, 1909, Fred S. Caldwell, counsel to the Governor, and as attorney for the state, filed a motion to dismiss the appeal, which, omitting the formal parts, is as follows:

"Special Appearance and Motion to Dismiss. Comes now the state of Oklahoma by its attorney, Fred S. Caldwell, as counsel

to the Governor, and appearing herein specially for the purposes of this motion only, represents to this honorable court as follows: More than one year has elapsed since the rendition of the judgment from which the plaintiff in error undertakes to prosecute this appeal and no notices of appeal have been served and filed as provided by Sec, 6949 of the 1909 Comp. Laws of Oklahoma. Wherefore, the state of Oklahoma says that this court is without jurisdiction to entertain said appeal, and that the same should be dismissed at plaintiff in error's costs."

The question presented by the motion in this case has been fully settled. Upon the authority of the case of Arispi v. Territory, 2 Okla. Cr. 79, 99 P. 1099, the motion to dismiss should be sustained.

It is therefore ordered that the purported appeal be, and the same is hereby, dismissed, and the cause remanded to the county court of Garfield county, with direction to enforce the judgment and sentence.
