Defendant Charles C. Anderson was convicted in the police court of the City of New Plymouth of permitting his dog to run at large in violation of a city ordinance. He alleges there were numerous irregularities committed in the police court proceedings.
Defendant appealed to the district court, orally notifying the police judge. The district court is alleged to have dismissed the appeal on the ground it was not filed within the statutory time. The trial judge signed a minute entry to that effect, but there is no order of dismissal in the record.
While defendant was represented by counsel in police court, he acts as his own attorney on this appeal.
Defendant’s brief does not set out formal specifications of error.
.The right of appeal is purely statutory, and can be exercised only in the method and manner provided by statute. State v. Ricks, 34 Idaho 122, 201 P. 827; State v. Stokes, 55 Idaho 51, 37 P.2d 404; State v. Paris, 58 Idaho 315, 72 P.2d 865.
*265Defendant’s oral notice of appeal from the police court to the district court does not meet the requirements of I.C. § 19-3938:
“A defendant intending to appeal must give notice of his intention to do so within ten days after the rendition and entry of the judgment, by filing notice thereof with the judge or justice of the court wherein the conviction was had, and serving on the prosecuting attorney of the county, or his associate or deputy, a copy thereof, entitled in the action, setting forth the character of the judgment, and the intention of the defendant to appeal therefrom to the district court. * * *”
I.C. § 19-2803 sets out the judgments and orders from which the defendant in a criminal proceeding may appeal to this Court:
“An appeal may be taken by the defendant :
“1. From a final judgment of conviction.
“2. From an order denying a motion for a new trial.
“3. From any order made after •judgment, affecting the substantial rights of the party. * * * ”
This enumeration does not include an appeal from a district court dismissal of an appeal from a lower court, and hence defendant’s appeal cannot be considered here. State v. Stokes, supra.
There is no order of dismissal by the district court for this Court to consider either by way of appeal or writ of review.
The appeal is dismissed. The defendant may pursue his remedy as if by way of writ of review in the district court, where the record there may be supplemented and reviewed.
