Lynch v. State

Supreme Court of Florida
Apr 24, 1934
155 So. 99 (Fla. 1934)

Opinion

Opinion Filed April 24, 1934. Petition for Rehearing Denied June 15, 1934.

A writ of error to the Criminal Court of Record for Hillsborough County, W. Raleigh Petteway, Judge.

E. M. Norton, for Plaintiff in Error;

Cary D. Landis, Attorney General, and Roy Campbell, Assistant, for the State.


In this case this Court finds itself unable to consider the arguments made in the brief of plaintiff in error as to the insufficiency of the information upon which the conviction appealed from was had, because there is before this Court no properly prepared transcript of the record filed here as required by the law and rules of this Court. While the brief of the Attorney General in effect concedes the insufficiency of the count of the information upon which plaintiff in error was sentenced, yet without something more than a certified copy of the information and judgment (which is all that is before us) this Court is without jurisdiction to reverse the judgment, even though it may appear to be erroneous.

The writ of error is accordingly dismissed.

DAVIS, C. J., and WHITFIELD, ELLIS, TERRELL, BROWN and BUFORD, J. J., concur.
