256 So.2d 428
    STATE of Louisiana v. Seburn R. WALLACE.
    No. 51766.
    Jan. 4, 1972.
    Henri Loridans, Bossier City, for defendant-appellant.
    Jack P. F. Gremillion, Atty. Gen., Harry H. Howard, Asst. Atty. Gen., John B. Benton, Jr., Dist. Atty., Arthur M. Wallace, Jr., Second Asst. Dist. Atty., for plaintiffappellee.
   PER CURIAM.

The defendant was convicted of simple burglary. LSA-R.S. 14:62. He appeals.

The defendant reserved and perfected one bill of exceptions to the trial judge’s denial of his motion for a directed verdict based upon the alleged insufficiency of evidence. We have held that our state constitution prevents consideration of such a motion for a directed verdict. LSA-Const. Art. 19, Sec. 9; State v. Williams, 258 La. 801, 248 So.2d 295 (1971). We find no error.

The conviction and sentence are affirmed.
