Head Matter:
STATE v. JAMES EDWARD MILLER.
(Filed 20 March, 1957.)
Appeal by defendant from Huskins, J., 1 October, 1956 “A” Term, MecKlenbueg Superior Court.
■ This criminal prosecution resulted in a conviction of involuntary manslaughter. From the judgment imposed, the defendant appealed, assigning as error the refusal of the court to grant his motion for a directed verdict.
George B. Patton, Attorney General, and T. W. Bruton, Asst. Attorney General, for the State.
Ray S-. Farris and James B. Ledford for defendant, appellant.

Opinion:
PER CuRiam.
The evidence, when viewed in the light most favorable to the State, is sufficient to go to the jury on the question of defendant's Gulpable-negligence in the operation of the automobile in which the deceased was riding and to sustain a conviction of involuntary manslaughter. No valid reason is made to appear why the judgment should be disturbed.
No error.
