      Frank J. Kelley, Attorney General, Robert A. Derengoski, Solicitor General, William L. Cabalan, Prosecuting Attorney, Samuel J. Torina, Chief Appellate Lawyer, and William B. McIntyre, Jr., Assistant Prosecuting Attorney, for the people.
    
      Lawrence R. Greene, for defendant.
    Before: Lesinski, C. J., and J. H. Gillis and Quinn, JJ.
   Per Curiam.

Defendant was convicted by jury verdict of assault with intent to commit rape. MCLA § 750.85 (Stat Ann 1962 Rev § 28.280). On appeal, defendant contends that the prosecution failed to identify defendant as the perpetrator of the alleged offense. A review of the record reveals that the testimony of the complaining witness, if believed, was sufficient to identify defendant as her assailant. Her testimony occurred in a context in which it was clear that the witness was referring to defendant.

Affirmed,
