613 So.2d 1134 (1993)

STATE of Louisiana v. Fred HUTSON.

Court of Appeal of Louisiana, Fifth Circuit.

February 10, 1993.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

John M. Mamoulides, Dist. Atty., Howat Peters, Leigh Anne Wall, Asst. Dist. Attys., Gretna, for plaintiff-appellee.

Ginger Berrigan, Indigent Defender Program, Gretna, for defendant-appellant.

Before GAUDIN, DUFRESNE, and GOTHARD, JJ.


GAUDIN, Judge.

Fred Hutson was convicted of distribution of marijuana, LSA-R.S. 40:966A(1), by a jury in the 24th Judicial District Court. On appeal, he assigns these errors:

(1) the trial judge allowed inadmissible evidence of other crimes, and

(2) the sentence of five years at hard labor, with credit for time served, was excessive.

Finding no merit in either allegation, we affirm Hutson's conviction and sentence.
