Opinion

Docket No. 6,554.

Decided June 24, 1969.

Appeal from Recorder's Court of Detroit, Joseph A. Gillis, J. Submitted Division 1 May 27, 1969, at Lansing. (Docket No. 6,554.) Decided June 24, 1969.

Clifford Jordan, Jr. was convicted of larceny from the person. Defendant appeals. Affirmed.

Frank J. Kelley, Attorney General, Robert A. Derengoski, Solicitor General, William L. Cahalan, Prosecuting Attorney, Samuel J. Torina, Chief Appellate Lawyer, and Robert A. Reuther, Assistant Prosecuting Attorney, for the people.

Jack J. Kraizman, for defendant on appeal.

BEFORE: QUINN, P.J., and McGREGOR and BRONSON, JJ.


Appellant was convicted by Recorder's Court jury of larceny from the person, MCLA § 750.357 (Stat Ann 1954 Rev § 28.589), and was sentenced to a 7-1/2- to 10-year prison term. He has appealed as of right through court-appointed counsel.

Appellant's brief questions only whether the evidence presented at trial was sufficient to justify a finding of guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. The people have filed a motion to affirm. GCR 1963, 817.5(3).

The record contains sufficient evidence to justify the verdict and sentence. The question sought to be reviewed is so unsubstantial as to need no argument or formal submission.

Motion to affirm is granted.
