    J. W. BARNETT v. STATE.
    No. A-7365.
    Opinion Filed May 31, 1930.
    (288 Pac. 993.)
    
      L. C. McLean, 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 county court of Garfield county of the offense of passing a bogus check, and was sentenced to pay a fine of $50 and to confinement in the county jail for a term of 30 days.

The state has filed a motion to dismiss, from 'which appears that defendant, after his conviction, was at large upon a supersedeas bond; that he has left the state of Oklahoma, is a fugitive, his whereabouts is unknown.

It is settled by many decisions of this court that, where a defendant has been convicted and perfects an appeal to this court, this court will not consider his appeal unless he is where he can be made to respond to any judgment or order which may be rendered in the case. Where a defendant becomes a fugitive from justice pending the determination of his appeal, this court upon proper motion will dismiss the same.

The case is dismissed.

DAVENPORT and CHAPPELL, JJ., concur.
