Opinion

Per Curiam.

Defendant Joseph Nathaniel Dumas was charged with having committed the act of assault with intent to rape in violation of CLS 1961, § 750.85 (Stat Ann 1962 Rev § 28.280), in 1966 in the city of Detroit. He was tried by the court without a jury on June 1, 1966, and found guilty.

The appeal tests the sufficiency of the evidence for a finding of guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. The people file a motion to dismiss the appeal or to affirm the conviction.

A review of defendant’s brief, the motion to dismiss or affirm, and the record disclose sufficient evidence to sustain the conviction, if such testimony were believed by the trial court.

Affirmed.
