NIX, Presiding Judge.

¶1The defendant, Tom Peters, was charged by information in the District Court of Murray County, on the 12th day of April, 1960, with the crime of murder. The defendant was tried and found guilty of manslaughter in the first degree by a jury who assessed his punishment at four years in the state penitentiary, and he appeals to this Court.

¶2This appeal was filed herein on June 7, 1961. On June 21, a thirty day extension of time to brief by plaintiff in error was given. The case was assigned for oral argument on July 26, 1961, at which time counsel for plaintiff in error failed to appear. On July 21, 1961, the State of Oklahoma filed a brief of defendant in error and’ a motion to dismiss. In said motion to dismiss it was alleged that this Court was without jurisdiction by reason of the fact that there was no judgment and sentence contained in the case made by which the purported appeal -was attempted to be perfected. To this motion the plaintiff in error has filed no response. An examination of *175the case made discloses that it does not contain any judgment or sentence.
