    Billy Joe REED, Petitioner, v. The STATE of Oklahoma, and The District Court of Tulsa County, State of Oklahoma, Respondents.
    No. A-13242.
    Court of Criminal Appeals of Oklahoma.
    July 11, 1962.
    
      Billy Joe Reed, petitioner, pro se.
    Mac Q. Williamson, Atty. Gen., for respondents.
   BUSSEY, Judge.

This is an original proceeding in mandamus by Billy Joe Reed, petitioner, an inmate of the State Penitentiary at McAles-ter, in which he seeks an order of this Court directing the district court of Tulsa County to prepare and furnish him a casemade of the proceedings in connection with the trial and conviction of the petitioner in said court. Petitioner was tried and convicted of the crime of Murder and sentenced during a term of said court in 1960 to life imprisonment in the State Penitentiary.

Title 22 Okl.St.Ann. § 1054, as amended, provides that in felony cases an appeal must be taken within three months after the judgment is rendered. This provision of the statute is mandatory, and must be strictly followed, and this court cannot entertain an appeal not perfected within such time. In the case of In re Application of Miller, 87 Okl.Cr. 423, 198 P.2d 755, this Court said:

“There is no statute in this state which permits this court to issue an order requiring the district court to furnish a transcript of casemade after the time has expired for taking an appeal in a criminal case.” See, also, Monzell v. State, 78 Okl.Cr. 34, 143 P.2d 163; Application of Cannon, Okl.Cr., 360 P.2d 732.

Since the application herein is not timely made, and this Court would have no jurisdiction to consider an appeal if the same were lodged at this time, the application for writ of mandamus must be, and is hereby denied.
