No. 60856.

February 9, 1979.

APPEAL FROM 24TH JUDICIAL DISTRICT COURT, PARISH OF JEFFERSON, STATE OF LOUISIANA, HONORABLE WALLACE C. LeBRUN, J.

Wayne A. Mancuso, Metairie, for defendant-appellant.

William J. Guste, Jr., Atty. Gen., Barbara Rutledge, Asst. Atty. Gen., John M. Mamoulides, Dist. Atty., Abbott J. Reeves, Roy F. Blondeau, Jr., Asst. Dist. Attys., for plaintiff-appellee.

PER CURIAM.

The issue of whether defendant was denied effective assistance of counsel is more properly raised by application for writ of habeas corpus at which time a full evidentiary hearing can be conducted. 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.

BLANCHE, J., does not participate.
