Plaintiff in error,- Frank Smith, was convicted of burglary in the second t degree, and his punishment assessed at imprisonment in the penitentiary for the term of two years. In pursuance of the verdict the court rendered judgment on the 20th day of September, 1919. From the judgment an appeal was attempted to be taken by filing in this court on March 22, 1920, a petition in error with case-made.

The Attorney General has filed a motion to dismiss the appeal based upon the fact that said appeal was not taken within six months from the date on which the judgment was rendered.

Sec. 5991, Rev. Laws, provides:

“In felony cases the appeal must betaken within six months after the judgment is rendered.”

It was two days too late. It has been uniformly held by this court, when an appeal is not taken within the time prescribed by statute, this court does not acquire jurisdiction of the appeal, and such appeal will be dismissed. Barks v. State, 11 Okla. Cr. 446, 147 Pac. 1055; Gordon v. State, 12 Okla. Cr. 103, 152 Pac. 142.

It follows that. the motion to dismiss the appeal must be sustained.

It is therefore ordered that the purported appeal be and the same is hereby dismissed.
