Opinion
The defendant, Nathan Champagne, pleaded guilty to the charge of attempted [1288]*1288forcible rape, a violation of LSA-R.S. 14:42.1 and 14:27, on November 15, 1982. On April 29, 1983, after a pre-sentence investigation, the trial judge sentenced the defendant to seventeen years at hard labor. The defendant has appealed the sentence.
The defendant filed no assignments of error pursuant to LSA-C.Cr.P. Art. 844. Therefore, the scope of appellate review in this case is limited to a review of the pleadings and proceedings, without inspection of the evidence, for errors patent. LSA-C. Cr.P. Art. 920; State v. Zeno, 322 So.2d 136 (La.1975). We have carefully examined the record in this case pursuant to the mandate of LSA-C.Cr.P. Art. 920, and finding no errors patent on the face of the record, we affirm the defendant’s conviction and the sentence imposed.
AFFIRMED.
