Opinion:
Spencer, J.
Defendant, James Henry Mathews, Jr., is appealing from a sentence of not less, than 4 nor more than 7 years in the Nebraska Penal and Correctional Complex on a conviction for manslaughter.
The only question presented is the excessiveness of the sentence. We have reviewed the record and the presentence report and conclude that a sentence of not less than 4 nor more than 7 years, which is well within the statutory range for manslaughter, is not excessive.
Judgment affirmed.
Affirmed.
