STATE of Minnesota, Respondent, v. Robert Adrian KOONCE, Appellant.
    No. 46256.
    Supreme Court of Minnesota.
    Jan. 7, 1977.
    C. Paul Jones, Public Defender, Rosalie E. Wahl, Spec. Asst. Public Defender, Minneapolis, for appellant.
    Warren Spannaus, Atty. Gen., William B. Randall, County Atty., Steven C. DeCoster, Asst. County Atty., St. Paul, for respondent.
   PER CURIAM.

Defendant was found guilty by a district court jury of charges of aggravated robbery, Minn.St. 609.245, and aggravated assault, Minn.St. 609.22, subd. 1, and was sentenced by the trial court to a maximum indeterminate term of 20 years in prison. On this appeal from judgment of conviction, defendant contends that (1) his war-rantless arrest was not based on probable cause and that a subsequent lineup at which he was identified was tainted by this illegality, and (2) there was, as a matter of law, insufficient evidence identifying him as the assailant. We have considered both contentions and conclude that there is no merit to either of them.

Affirmed.
