Graham v. State

Court of Criminal Appeals of Oklahoma

Decided September 1, 1971

Court of Criminal Appeals of Oklahoma · decided 1971-09-01

Decided 1971-09-01

BUSSEY, Presiding Judge.

¶1This is an attempted appeal from the judgment and sentence rendered in the District Court of Alfalfa County, Case No. CRF-70-4, on a plea of guilty. In the Petition it is alleged that the judgment and sentence was entered on the 28th day of December, 1970, and thereafter, defendant below, filed an application for suspended sentence which was by the court overruled on January 7, 1971, at which time oral and written notice of intention to appeal and a designation of record were filed with the court, and the defendant was released on bond pending appeal.

¶2This Court is without jurisdiction to entertain this purported appeal for the reason that an appeal from a judgment and sentence entered on a plea of guilty can only be entertained by this Court when the procedure set forth in 22 O.S.Supp.1970, § 1051, and implemented by Rule 3.1, is followed. Rule 3.1 provides:

“To appeal 'from any conviction from a plea of guilty, the convicted person must file his Petition for Writ of Certiorari with the Clerk of this Court within ninety (90) days from the date judgment and sentence was entered in petitioner’s case.”

¶3It is readily apparent that the Petition for Certiorari was not filed within the time provided by statute and the rules of this Court, and therefore, this Court is without jurisdiction to entertain the same. The attempted appeal is accordingly dismissed, and the Clerk of this Court is directed to issue the Mandate, forthwith. Attempted appeal is dismissed.

NIX and BRETT, JJ., concur.
