464 N.W.2d 809 (1991) 237 Neb. 114 STATE of Nebraska, Appellee, v. James E. SHERROD, Appellant. No. 89-1481. Supreme Court of Nebraska. January 25, 1991. *810 Dennis R. Keefe, Lancaster County Public Defender, and Richard L. Goos, Lincoln, for appellant. Robert M. Spire, Atty. Gen., and Delores Coe-Barbee, Lincoln, for appellee. HASTINGS, C.J., WHITE, CAPORALE, SHANAHAN, GRANT, and FAHRNBRUCH, JJ., and COLWELL, District Judge, Retired. PER CURIAM. A jury convicted James E. Sherrod of first degree sexual assault, a Class II felony under Neb.Rev.Stat. § 28-319(2) (Reissue 1989), which was Sherrod's second conviction for first degree sexual assault. Pursuant to § 28-319(3), the district court sentenced Sherrod to a term of imprisonment of 25 to 30 years, to be served consecutively to Sherrod's current terms of imprisonment and without eligibility for parole. Sherrod claims that the evidence is insufficient to sustain his conviction and that the sentence imposed is an abuse of discretion. State v. Zitterkopf, 236 Neb. 743, 746-47, 463 N.W.2d 616, 619 (1990). State v. Zitterkopf, supra at 747, 463 N.W.2d at 620. We have reviewed the record in Sherrod's case and determine that the evidence is sufficient to sustain Sherrod's conviction for first degree sexual assault, in violation of § 28-319. Also, no plain error is evident from a review of the record in Sherrod's case. An opinion with further reiteration of existing law in Nebraska and a detailed statement of facts underlying Sherrod's conviction would serve no useful purpose and would have no precedential value. Therefore, Sherrod's conviction is affirmed. Regarding Sherrod's claim that the sentence imposed is excessive, under the circumstances and in view of all the appropriate information presented in reference to sentencing Sherrod, the district court did not abuse its discretion in the sentence imposed on Sherrod. See State v. Kitt, 232 Neb. 237, 440 N.W.2d 234 (1989). Therefore, the sentence imposed on Sherrod is affirmed. AFFIRMED.
