Black, J.
(dissenting). I agree with our standard majority when its members say that three of the four errors assigned by defendant Gardner are without merit. As for that defendant’s fourth assignment, I agree again with the Brethren four when they say that it is “complex and convoluted” (What magnificent understatement! See it quoted, ante at p 397). There our agreement ends.
The fourth assignment, upon which the majority relies for disposition of this latest appeal from an affirmed conviction for serious felony, is that defendant Gardner was denied the effective assistance of counsel, citing Glasser v. United States (1942), 315 US 60 (62 S Ct 457, 86 L Ed 680).
For my part, I am satisfied that Division 1 considered, reasoned and decided the fourth assignment properly, and that it is equally without merit. For the reference just made, see Judge Holbrook’s opinion on rehearing, supported as it was by the other members of the panel (19 Mich App 291, 306-308).
I would affirm and therefore dissent.
Adams, J., and T. E. Brennan, J., concurred with Black, J.
