STATE of Louisiana v. Isaac SMITH and Howard Higginbotham.
    No. 61852.
    Supreme Court of Louisiana.
    Oct. 9, 1978.
    Michael S. Ingram, Monroe, for Isaac Glen Smith.
    Billye L. Adams, Monroe, for Howard Lee Higginbotham.
    William J. Guste, Jr., Atty. Gen., Barbara Rutledge, Asst. Atty. Gen., J. Carl Parker-son, Dist. Atty., John R. Harrison, Asst. Dist. Atty., for plaintiff-appellee.
   PER CURIAM.

The defendants appeal from their convictions, each on several counts (Smith, 4 counts; Higginbotham, 3 counts) of aggravated rape, La.R.S. 14:42, of a fellow inmate in the parish jail over a period of five days. They were sentenced to life imprisonment at hard labor.

Upon their appeal, the defendants each rely upon two assignments of error. We have examined them, and we find them to be without reversible merit.

Accordingly, we affirm the convictions and sentences.

AFFIRMED.
