PER CURIAM. This is a purported appeal from the county court of Major county from a judgment rendered on the 5th day of September, 1921, convicting plaintiff in error of the offense of failing and refusing to compel his minor child to attend school as required by law and assessing against him a fine in the sum of $25 and costs of the prosecution.

The petition in error and case-made were not filed in this court until the 5th day of January, 1922, more than 120 days after the rendition of the judgment in the lower court. This

being a conviction for a misdemeanor, the longest period of time allowed by statute for perfecting an appeal from the judgment is 120 days after the rendition thereof.

The Attorney General has filed a motion to dismiss the appeal for the reason that the purported appeal was not filed in this court until 122 days after the rendition of the judgment, and for such reason this court has acquired no jurisdiction to hear the appeal on the merits.

The motion to dismiss the appeal is sustained. Boyle v. State, 15 Okla. Cr. 659, 179 P. 945, and cases cited therein.
