    Feb. 22, 1983.
    Ossie Brown, Dist. Atty. by Jeff Calmes, Asst. Dist. Atty., Baton Rouge, for plaintiff-appellee.
    M. Glenn Hawkins, Baton Rouge, for defendant-appellant.
   PER CURIAM.

Defendant, Lawrence Ritter, Jr., was charged by bill of information with operating a vehicle while intoxicated, R.S. 14:98(A). Defendant pled guilty and after a hearing was sentenced to six months imprisonment in the parish prison. R.S. 14:98(B).

We note that the offense with which defendant was charged is not triable by jury. La. Const, of 1974, art. I, § 17. Defendant does not, therefore, have the right to appeal this conviction. La.
