STATE of Louisiana ex rel. Quinton BLACKSTONE v. Hilton BUTLER, Warden, Louisiana State Penitentiary.
    No. 88-KH-2319.
    Supreme Court of Louisiana.
    April 27, 1990.
   PER CURIAM.

Granted. The evidence was insufficient to support relator’s conviction of simple escape. However, every element of the offense of attempted simple escape was established beyond a reasonable doubt.

Accordingly, the conviction and sentence for simple escape is set aside. The case is remanded to the district court with instructions to enter a judgment of guilty of attempted simple escape and to sentence relator accordingly. La.Code Crim.Proc.Ann. art. 821 E.
