712 P.2d 355

Alonso v. State

Wyoming Supreme Court

Decided January 8, 1986

Wyoming Supreme Court · decided 1986-01-08

Relies on Hutchins v. State · Binger v. State

Decided 1986-01-08

PER CURIAM.

¶1Appellant was charged and convicted of forgery under § 6-3-602(a)(ii), W.S. 1977 (June 1983 Replacement), and attempted forgery under § 6-l-301(a)(i), W.S.1977 (June 1983 Replacement). Appeal is taken from these convictions upon the theory that appellant could only have been charged under the credit card fraud section, being § 6-3-802, W.S. 1977, 1985 Cum.Supp.

¶2It is seldom that an appellant confronts a case so nearly identical as Hutchins v. *356State, Wyo., 483 P.2d 519 (1971), which involved the same statutes and contention. The same question was raised earlier this term in the case of Binger v. State, Wyo., 712 P.2d 349 (1986). Appellant in that case relied upon the same authorities as here argued and which this Court rejected. Disposal of this case is governed by the two before-mentioned cases.

¶3Affirmed.
