APPEAL BOOK ENDORSEMENT


[1]

The appellant advances a single ground of appeal  his trial counsel was
    ineffective because he refused to permit him to testify at his own trial.

[2]

The record does not support this submission. In the cross-examination on
    an affidavit prepared for this appeal, it is clear that the appellant may have
    felt strongly that he wanted to testify but, in the end, accepted his trial
    counsels advice not to do so.

[3]

The appeal as to conviction and sentence is dismissed.
