STATE OF LOUISIANA v. ODELL DAVIS.

No. 62978.Supreme Court of Louisiana.
January 29, 1979.

Appeal from First Judicial District Court, Parish of Caddo; Hon. John R. Ballard, Judge.

William L. Lowe, Shreveport, for defendant-appellant.

William J. Guste, Jr., Atty. Gen., Barbara Rutledge, Asst. Atty. Gen., John A. Richardson, Dist. Atty., B. Woodrow Nesbitt, Jr., Asst. Dist. Atty., for plaintiff-appellee.

PER CURIAM.[*]

[*] Chief Judge L. Julian Samuel participated in this decision as Associate Justice Ad Hoc sitting in the place of Chief Justice Sanders, retired.
[1] Defendant Odell Davis was convicted after a jury trial of aggravated rape, a violation of R.S. 14:42, and was sentenced to life imprisonment without benefit of parole, probation or suspension of sentence. Upon this appeal defendant relies on ten assignments of error for a reversal of his conviction and sentence.[1] Review of the substance of the assignments of error presented for review discloses that they lack reversible merit.

[2] Accordingly, we affirm the defendant’s conviction and sentence.

[3] AFFIRMED.

[1] The record contains seventeen assignments of error but only the ten assignments urged in brief filed in connection with this appeal are considered.
