Head Matter:
STATE of Louisiana v. David J. DUPLANTIS.
No. 60856.
Supreme Court of Louisiana.
Feb. 9, 1979.
Wayne A. Mancuso, Metairie, for defendant-appellant.
William J. Guste, Jr., Atty. Gen., Barbara Rutledge, Asst. Atty. Gen., John M. Mam-oulides, Dist. Atty., Abbott J. Reeves, Roy F. Blondeau, Jr., Asst. Dist. Attys., for plaintiff-appellee.

Opinion:
PER CURIAM.
The issue of whether defendant was denied effective assistance of counsel is more properly raised by application for writ of habeas corpus at which time a full eviden- tiary hearing can be conducted. State v. Anthony, 347 So.2d 483 (La.1977); State v. Ross, 343 So.2d 722 (La.1977); State v. Mouton, 327 So.2d 413 (La.1976).
Finding no reversible error based on the record before us, defendant's conviction and sentence are affirmed.
