Appeal from Superior Court, Okmulgee County; H.R. Christopher, Judge.

Charley Patrick was convicted of forgery, and he appeals. Affirmed.

The Attorney General, for the State.

PER CURIAM. Charley Patrick was convicted of the crime of forgery in the superior court of Okmulgee county, and his punishment fixed at imprisonment in the penitentiary for a term of two years.

This appeal has been pending in this court since the 24th day of March, 1921. The cause was submitted on March 16, 1922, at which time no appearance was made by any counsel representing plaintiff in error, but he was allowed 15 days within which to file a brief herein. No brief has been filed in behalf of plaintiff in error. Rule 9 of this court (12 Okla. Cr. viii, 165 Pac. x) provides:

"When no counsel appears, and no briefs are filed, the court will examine the pleadings, the instructions of the court, and the exceptions taken thereto, and the judgment and sentence, and, if no prejudicial error appears, will affirm the judgment."

An examination of the pleadings, instructions, and judgment and sentence discloses no prejudicial error, and the judgment is accordingly affirmed.
