OPINION ON APPELLANT'S PETITION FOR DISCRETIONARY REVIEW
We granted appellant's petition for discretionary review to review the holding of the Thirteenth Court of Appeals, 654 S.W.2d 14, as to the appellant's allegation of jury misconduct resulting from discussion of parole laws. The Court of Appeals applied the test that was set out in the plurality opinion inMunroe v. State, 637 S.W.2d 475 (Tex.Cr.App. 1982), and found no reversible error. On May 23, 1984, this Court handed down an opinion in the case of Sneed v. State,670 S.W.2d 262 (1984), in which we readopted "the five prong test of pre-Heredia cases." See Heredia v. State, 528 S.W.2d 847
(Tex.Cr.App. 1975).
We have reviewed this case under the five-prong test adopted in Sneed and have determined that the decision of the Court of Appeals is correct. The appellant's petition for discretionary review was improvidently granted. It is, therefore, ordered dismissed.
