^HIGHTOWER, J.,
concurring.
Defendant’s evidence-sufficiency complaint, raised merely by assignment of error rather than by post-trial motion for acquittal in the district court, is not properly before us. See La.C.Cr.P. art. 821; State v. Hall, 624 So.2d 927 (La.App. 2d Cir.1993), writ denied, 629 So.2d 1182 (La.1993); Bates v. Blackburn, 805 F.2d 569 (5th Cir.1986), cert. denied, 482 U.S. 916, 107 S.Ct. 3190, 96 L.Ed.2d 678 (1987). See also discussion in concurrence to State v. Green, 28,994 (La.App.2d Cir.02/25/97), 691 So.2d 1273, and authorities therein. Thus, I do not reach that aspect of the appeal, but otherwise concur in the affirmance of the sentence.
