    No. 59360.
    Supreme Court of Louisiana.
    July 1, 1977.
    Truett West, Farmerville, for defendant-appellant.

   PER CURIAM.

The issue of whether or not the defendant was denied effective assistance of counsel is properly raised by writ of habeas corpus. State v. Ross, 343 So.2d 722 (La.1977); State v. Mouton, 327 So.2d 413 (La.1976).

Finding no reversible error in the record presently before us, defendant’s conviction and sentence are affirmed.
