Before SCHWAB, Chief Judge, and FOLEY and FORT, Judges.
Defendant, having waived a jury, was convicted by the court of the sale of dangerous drugs. ORS 475.100. He appeals, assigning as sole error the failure of the trial court sua sponte "to direct a verdict of acquittal."
This court has repeatedly held that absent a showing of manifest injustice we will not consider matters raised for the first time on appeal which were not called to the attention of the trial court. There is no such showing here. State v. Paola, 3 Or. App. 258, 473 P.2d 690 (1970).
