APPEAL FROM 27TH JUDICIAL DISTRICT COURT, PARISH OF ST. LANDRY, STATE OF LOUISIANA, HONORABLE JOSEPH A. LAHAYE, J.

William Tracy Barstow, Opelousas, for defendant-appellant.

Morgan J. Goudeau, III, Dist. Atty., Opelousas, for plaintiff-appellee.

Before GUIDRY, CUTRER and DOUCET, JJ.

GUIDRY, Judge.

[1] The defendant, Wilson K. Savoy, Jr., pleaded nolo contendere to the charge of negligent homicide, a violation of LSA-R.S. 14:32. The trial court sentenced the defendant to five years at hard labor. The defendant has appealed the conviction and sentence. [2] The defendant filed no assignments of error pursuant to LSA-C.Cr.P. Art. 844. Therefore, the scope of appellate review in this case is limited to a review of the pleadings and proceedings, without inspection of the evidence, for errors patent. LSA-C.Cr.P. Art. 920; State v. Zeno, 322 So.2d 136
(La. 1975). Accordingly, we have carefully examined the record in this case pursuant to the mandate of LSA-C.Cr.P. Art. 920, and finding no errors patent on the face of the record, we affirm the defendant’s conviction and the sentence imposed. [3] AFFIRMED.
