Opinion
No. 60649.
March 15, 1978.
Appeal from Criminal District Court, Parish of Orleans; Frank A. Marullo, Jr., Judge.
Patrick D. McArdle, Orleans Indigent Defender Program, New Orleans, for defendant-appellant.
William J. Guste, Jr., Atty. Gen., Barbara Rutledge, Asst. Atty. Gen., Harry F. Connick, Dist. Atty., Louise Korns, Asst. Dist. Atty., for plaintiff-appellee.
The issue of whether the defendant was denied effective assistance of counsel is more properly raised by application for writ of habeas corpus. State v. Anthony, 347 So.2d 483 (La. 1977); State v. Ross, 343 So.2d 722 (La. 1977); State v. Mouton, 327 So.2d 413 (La. 1976).
Finding no reversible error based on the record before us, defendant's conviction and sentence are affirmed.
