Borden, Daly and Jacobson, Js.
Argued February 28
decision released March 13, 1989
Ernest J. Diette, Jr., for the appellant (defendant).
John O Mear a, deputy assistant state’s attorney, with whom were Daniel A. Lyons, assistant state’s attorney, and, on the brief, Michael Dearington, state’s attorney, for the appellee (state).

Opinion:
Per Curiam.
On September 27, 1983, the defendant was convicted, after a trial to a jury, of the crimes of robbery in the first degree in violation of General Statutes § 53a-134 (a) (2) and conspiracy to commit robbery in the first degree in violation of General Statutes § 53a-48 (a). On October 28, 1983, the defendant was sentenced, on the robbery charge, to a term of twenty years, execution suspended after service of fifteen years, and, on the conspiracy to commit robbery charge, to a term of ten years, execution suspended with three years probation.
On the day the defendant was sentenced, an application for waiver of fees, costs and expenses and for the appointment of counsel to appeal the judgment of conviction was filed. Despite the appointment of a number of appellate counsel between January, 1984, and February, 1987, nothing was done to perfect the defendant's appeal. On the basis of the particular facts of this case, the defendant was allowed to file a late appeal.
Having thoroughly reviewed the record in this case, we find no error.
There is no error.
