Appeal and Error — Felony Conviction Supported by Evidence Affirmed Where no Briefs Filed. Where an appeal is brought to this court upon conviction for a felony, and no briefs are filed in behalf of plaintiff in error, and no appearance for oral argument made when the case was set for submission, this court will examine the record for jurisdictional errors, and if none appear, and the evidence supports the judgment, it will be affirmed.

Appeal from County Court, McCurtain County; Wm. A. Tidwell, Judge.

Dave Henry and others were convicted of possessing intoxicating liquor, and they appeal. Affirmed.

Cochran & Wilkinson, for plaintiff in error.

EDWARDS, P.J. The plaintiffs in error, hereinafter called defendants, were convicted in the district court of McCurtain county upon a charge of having possession of intoxicating liquor and were each sentenced to pay a fine of $250 and to serve a term of six months in the county jail.

The case was tried in January, 1928, and the appeal lodged in this court May 2, 1928. Extensions of time to file briefs were made, but last extension has long since expired, and no briefs have been filed, nor was there any appearance for oral argument at the time the case was submitted.

this court will not search the record to discover some error upon which to predicate a reversal, but will examine the record for jurisdictional or fundamental errors, and if none appear, and the evidence reasonably supports the verdict, the judgment will be affirmed. We have done this, and find that the evidence supports the verdict and no jurisdictional or fundamental error is apparent.

The case is affirmed.

DAVENPORT and CHAPPELL, JJ., concur.
