BEFORE: LESINSKI, C.J., and QUINN and DANHOF, JJ.
Defendant Donald Smiley was charged with sodomy together with Chester Green and Hosea Chappell. Green and Chappell were convicted by jury verdict and sentenced. Their convictions and sentences were affirmed by this Court on appeal in People v. Green (1968), 14 Mich. App. 250. Defendant waived jury trial and was convicted by the judge. His appeal raises 4 issues for appellate review, 3 of which are identical to issues raised in Green, supra. Green is dispositive of each of these 3 issues.
CL 1948, § 750.158 (Stat Ann 1962 Rev § 28.355).
The remaining issue raised by defendant relates to the failure of the trial judge to give a timely jury instruction. This issue, however, has no applicability, as this was a nonjury trial.
Affirmed.
