No. 13718.

661 P.2d 874 (1983)

Dennis Raymond LANOUE, Appellant, v. The STATE of Nevada, Respondent.

Supreme Court of Nevada.

April 21, 1983.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Morgan D. Harris, Public Defender, and William P. Henry, Deputy Public Defender, Las Vegas, for appellant.

D. Brian McKay, Atty. Gen., Carson City, Robert J. Miller, Dist. Atty., and James Tufteland, Deputy Dist. Atty., Las Vegas, for respondent.

OPINION

PER CURIAM:

Appellant was convicted of sexually assaulting his ten-year-old daughter, Cassandra Lanoue, and sentenced to life in prison. On appeal, he contends that the district court erred by finding a five-year-old witness competent to testify. We agree.

Appellant was initially charged with committing an act of fellatio with Cassandra, and one act each of fellatio and cunnilingus with Cassandra's friend, twelve-year-old Jennifer.
