Opinion

STEINFELD, Judge.

Appellant Sherrill Harston was found guilty of uttering forged checks in violation of KRS 434.130(2). He appeals, claiming only that his motions for a directed verdict of acquittal should have been sustained because “(t)he Commonwealth failed to prove the bank upon which the checks were written was authorized by law to do a general banking business.” Such proof was unnecessary. Francis v. Commonwealth, Ky., 468 S.W.2d 287 (1971).

The judgment is affirmed.

All concur.
