Bailey & Robinson by Edward G. Bailey for defendant appellant.

BRITT, Judge.

Stating that he has carefully reviewed the record in this case but is unable to assign any error, defendant’s court appointed counsel asks us to make a careful review and determine if there is error. Following a careful review of the entire record on appeal, we conclude that defendant received a fair trial, free from prejudicial error, and the sentence imposed is within the limits allowed by statute.

No error.

Chief Judge Mallard and Judge Brock concur.
