Submitted July 10, 1978
Decided September 6, 1978
Michael Clutter, Robert Eugene Smith, for appellant.
Ken Stula, Solicitor, for appellee.

These are identical to contentions by appellant’s counsel made in Sewell v. State, 238 Ga. 495 (233 SE2d 187) (1977) and Teal v. State, 143 Ga. App. 47 (238 SE2d 128) (1977), cert. den.; appeal dismissed, U. S. Supreme Ct.. We find nothing in the record of this appeal that differentiates it from the rulings in those cases.

Judgment affirmed.
