Under the appropriate exercise of this Court’s appellate jurisdiction, the assignments of error raised by defendant are without merit. The issue of whether or not the defendant was denied effective assistance of counsel is properly raised by writ of habeas corpus. State v. Ross, 343 So.2d 722 (La.1977); State v. Mouton, 327 So.2d 413 (La.1976).
Defendant’s conviction and sentence are affirmed.
