STATE of Louisiana, Plaintiff-Appellee, v. Nathan CHAMPAGNE, Defendant-Appellant.
No. CR83-696.
Court of Appeal of Louisiana,' Third Circuit.
June 27, 1984.
Paul J. de Mahy, St. Martinville, for defendant-appellant.
Bernard Boudreaux, Dist. Atty., Chester Cedars, J. Phil Haney, Asst. Dist. Attys., St. Martinville, for plaintiff-appellee.
Before GUIDRY, LABORDE and KNOLL, JJ.

Opinion:
GUIDRY, Judge.
The defendant, Nathan Champagne, pleaded guilty to the charge of attempted forcible rape, a violation of LSA-R.S. 14:42.1 and 14:27, on November 15, 1982. On April 29, 1983, after a pre-sentence investigation, the trial judge sentenced the defendant to seventeen years at hard labor. The defendant has appealed the sentence.
The defendant filed no assignments of error pursuant to LSA-C.Cr.P. Art. 844. Therefore, the scope of appellate review in this case is limited to a review of the pleadings and proceedings, without inspection of the evidence, for errors patent. LSA-C. Cr.P. Art. 920; State v. Zeno, 322 So.2d 136 (La.1975). We have carefully examined the record in this case pursuant to the mandate of LSA-C.Cr.P. Art. 920, and finding no errors patent on the face of the record, we affirm the defendant's conviction and the sentence imposed.
AFFIRMED.
