Poole, was tried upon indictment charging him with the murder of one Andrew Jackson Sawyer, which resulted in a conviction of \u201cmurder in the first degree,\u201d and sentence of death as the law commands on such verdict.\nFrom the judgment thus entered, the defendant gave notice of appeal to the Supreme Court. The clerk certifies that \u201cno case on appeal has been filed in my office and there has been no request for transcript of the record either by the defendant or his counsel, and therefore the appeal has not been perfected.\u201d\nThe time for bringing up the case on appeal has expired, and in the absence of any apparent error, which the record now before us fails to disclose, the motion of the Attorney-General to docket and dismiss the appeal under Eule 17 must be allowed. S. v. Morrow, 220 N. C., 441, 17 S. E. (2d), 507; S. v. Watson, 208 N. C., 70, 179 S. E., 455.\nJudgment affirmed. Appeal dismissed.",
