Analysis

No analysis yet. When one exists it is a model's reading of this opinion — the rulings it reviewed, whether it agrees with the court, and the authorities it checked — shown beside the court's own disposition, never in place of it. How analyses are made.

Opinion

The defendant was convicted of an assault with a deadly weapon, and was sentenced to two years' imprisonment in the state prison; and an appeal appears to have been regularly taken on his behalf from the judgment and from an order denying a motion for a new trial. We have examined the record and see no prejudicial error; and as we have recently received a written communication from the defendant, in which he states that he had just learned that the appeal had been taken; that it was taken without his knowledge and against his express direction; and that — while he asserts his innocence — he does not desire a new trial, but prefers to finish his short term of imprisonment, — we do not deem it necessary to enter upon a detailed discussion of the case.

The judgment and order appealed from are affirmed. *Page 616
