SHORTS v. THE STATE.
Submitted February 6, 1978
Decided February 24, 1978.
Malone & Percilla, John Knight, for appellant.
William S. Lee, District Attorney, Hobart M. Hind, Assistant District Attorney, for appellee.

Opinion:
Webb, Judge.
Shorts appeals his conviction for robbery, charging that the verdict was not supported by the evidence, and assigning error on the admission, over objection, of a photograph of him which he asserts was picked out as the result of impermissibly suggestive procedures which tainted the subsequent in-court identification. We affirm.
1. The evidence was sufficient to show that the photographic line-up was not impermissibly suggestive. Daniels v. State, 135 Ga. App. 549 (218 SE2d 274) (1975). Additionally, the trial court was warranted in accepting the victim's in-court identification as based upon his encounter with the accused rather than the photographic line-up. Yancey v. State, 232 Ga. 167 (205 SE2d 282) (1974).
2. The evidence amply supported the verdict.
Judgment affirmed.
Quillian, P. J., and McMurray, J., concur.
