OPINION FILED:

AFFIRMED PURSUANT TO RULE 20

David G. Hayes
Judge
                                        OPINION

       The appellant, Daryl Conner, was convicted by a Shelby County jury of

robbery. The sole issue presented on appeal is whether the evidence adduced

at trial is sufficient to support the jury’s verdict.

       On May 9, 1994, Mrs. Lois Boggan, who was eighty-four years old, was at

home cooking dinner. Two men entered her kitchen through a back door and

forced Mrs. Boggan’s wedding band and engagement ring from her hand. The

assailants fled when Mrs. Boggan’s husband came into the room. One week

later, Mrs. Boggan positively identified the appellant in a photographic lineup as

one of the assailants. She again identified the appellant at trial. Additionally, on

the evening of the offense, a neighbor observed two men run from the Boggan’s

house and drive away in a car matching the description of a car owned by the

co-defendant, David Parrish. Parrish testified at trial that he and the appellant

committed the robbery.

       After thoroughly reviewing the record, the briefs, and the law governing

the issue presented by the appellant, we conclude that the evidence is sufficient

to support the finding by the trier of fact of guilt beyond a reasonable doubt and

that no error of law requiring a reversal of the judgment is apparent. Accordingly,

pursuant to Ct. of Crim. App. Rule 20, we affirm the judgment of the trial court.

                                      ____________________________________
