Appeal and Error — Review — Affirmance in Absence of Briefs and Oral Argument. Where an appeal from a conviction for a felony is brought to this court and no briefs are filed and no appearance for oral argument made when the case is set for submission, this court will examine the record for jurisdictional or fundamental errors. If none appear and the evidence reasonably supports the judgment, it will be affirmed.

Appeal from District Court, Pottawatomie County; Hal Johnson, Judge.

T.B. Richardson was convicted of robbery with firearms, and he appeals. Affirmed.

John T. Levergood, for plaintiff in error.

J. Berry King, Atty. Gen., for the State.

EDWARDS, P.J. The plaintiff in error, hereinafter called defendant, was convicted in the district court of Pottawatomie county of the crime of robbery with firearms, and was sentenced to serve a term of 15 years in the state penitentiary.

The judgment of conviction was rendered in June, 1929, and the appeal was lodged in this court in November, 1929. No briefs in support of the appeal have been filed, and no appearance for oral argument was made at the time the case was submitted.

Where an appeal from a conviction for a felony is prosecuted to this court and no briefs in support of it are filed nor oral argument made, 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 to ascertain if the evidence

reasonably supports the verdict and judgment. In this case we have examined the record with care and have read closely the testimony. We find no jurisdictional or fundamental errors, and find abundant evidence to sustain the verdict and judgment.

The case is affirmed.
