A jury found appellants guilty of two counts of kidnapping, two counts of aggravated assault upon a peace officer, aggravated assault, and attempted armed robbery. We have consolidated the three appeals from the judgments entered on the jury’s verdicts.
1. Appellants Wood and Jordan assert the general grounds, claiming that the evidence presented at trial was not sufficient to support the verdicts rendered against them. After reading the trial transcript, we must disagree with appellants’ contentions. The State presented evidence which showed that the three appellants and a coindictee (Droxler), who testified for the State, escaped from a county jail in Alabama by using a homemade key which appellant Jordan had. The four escapees drove to the home of Graham’s parents where Graham got a shotgun and ammunition. The four abandoned the sheriff’s car they had driven to the Graham home and took an automobile belonging to Graham’s sister. They then proceeded to Georgia where they came upon George Horsley, who was in a field placing fencing around the bases of his apple trees. While Graham brandished the shotgun, the escapees took Horsley’s car and forced him to accompany them. They relieved Horsley of the nearly $300 in cash he had in his wallet and purchased food, beer, and gasoline for Horsley’s dark-colored station wagon.
While driving down Highway 41 in Cobb County, the quintet spotted Randall Mclnnis, who was hitchhiking. Concluding that Mclnnis might have money because he was dressed in a suit and carrying a briefcase, the group stopped and picked him up. As soon as Mclnnis was seated in the right rear seat of the station wagon, Jordan asked him for money and then slapped him across the face with a force that knocked Mclnnis’ glasses off. Jordan then pointed the shotgun at Mclnnis and demanded his money, threatening to shoot the victim if he refused. When the car stopped at a traffic signal, Mclnnis attempted to flee from the vehicle but was physically restrained from leaving by Jordan, Wood, and Droxler. Mclnnis managed to break free and escape from the car, which was then driven away.
Officer McClure, a patrolman for the Marietta Police Department, observed a passenger in the station wagon being held by his hair and beaten. After he saw the victim exit the car, the officer put on his siren and blue light and pursued the station wagon. When he saw the shotgun passed from the front passenger seat to the back seat and pointed at him, the officer radioed for assistance, and a high speed chase involving a number of police cars ensued. Officer McClure *243 heard five or six shots fired from the station wagon and heard pellets hit the side of his car, one pellet hitting the officer in the arm.
Officer Harper, another Marietta patrolman, was also involved in the pursuit of the station wagon. When a hastily set up roadblock impeded McClure, Harper’s car, with siren wailing and blue light flashing, became the lead chase vehicle. When Harper saw the passenger in the right front seat shoot at him, he sought and was given permission to return the fire. The gun was passed to the back of the station wagon where another passenger continued to fire at the officer. When the station wagon turned off the paved street onto a dirt road, Harper was hit in the face, arms, forearms, shoulders, and chest with a shotgun blast of bird shot. Droxler’s testimony put Wood in the place from which the officer said the wounding shot came. The four men abandoned the station wagon and fled into the sparsely populated, swampy, wooded area. Three hundred law enforcement personnel, bloodhounds, and helicopters took part in the manhunt which followed. Droxler gave himself up and appellants were tracked down by a bloodhound the next morning. The shotgun was recovered from three to four feet of water some days later by means of a magnet during a search of the area by Cobb County law enforcement officers.
The State presented evidence which showed that appellant Jordan had physically restrained Mclnnis when he attempted to flee from the station wagon; that Jordan had slapped Mclnnis and demanded his money; that Jordan had pointed the shotgun at Mclnnis and demanded money; and that Jordan had fired the shot that hit Officer McClure. This evidence was sufficient for a rational trier of fact to find appellant Jordan guilty beyond a reasonable doubt of kidnapping McInnis (OCGA § 16-5-40 (a);
Peavy v. State,
The evidence adduced at trial also showed that appellant Wood held what the victim thought was a knife to Mr. Horsley’s side to prevent him from leaving the car; that he aided in restraining McInnis from fleeing; and that he fired the shot that wounded Harper. This was sufficient evidence for a rational trier of fact to find appellant Wood guilty of the kidnappings of Horsley and Mclnnis (OCGA § 16-5-40 (a); Peavy v. State, supra); and the aggravated assault of Officer Harper (OCGA § 16-5-21 (c)). Jackson v. Virginia, supra.
This is not to say that there was no evidence to support Jordan’s convictions for the kidnapping of Horsley and the aggravated assault of Officer Harper; and Wood’s convictions for the aggravated assault and attempted armed robbery of Mclnnis, and the aggravated assault
*244
of Officer McClure. The State also traveled under the theory that appellants entered into an unlawful conspiracy to flee confinement and posited that all of the acts alleged in the indictment were committed in furtherance of the conspiracy. If individuals associate themselves in an unlawful enterprise, any act done in pursuance of the conspiracy by one or more of the conspirators is, in legal contemplation, the act of all.
Evans v. State,
“The question of the existence of a conspiracy is for the jury to decide. [Cit.] And the existence of a common design or purpose between alleged conspirators may be shown either by direct or circumstantial evidence. [Cit.] Thus, conspiracy may be shown by conduct as well as by direct proof or express agreement, by inference as well as deduction from conduct which shows common design on the part of persons charged to act together for the accomplishment of the unlawful purpose. [Cits.]”
Wireman v. State,
2. All three appellants take issue with the denial of their motions to sever. “When indicted for a capital felony when the death penalty is waived, or for a felony less than capital, or for a misdemeanor, such defendants may be tried jointly or separately in the discretion of the trial court.” OCGA § 17-8-4. A motion for severance “is committed to the sound discretion of the trial judge, whose ruling is subject to reversal only for an abuse of discretion. [Cit.]”
Ellis v. State,
“Some of the considerations for the court in exercising its discretion have emerged from the cases considering motions to sever: 1. Will the number of defendants create confusion of the evidence and law applicable to each individual defendant? 2. Is there a danger that evidence admissible against one defendant will be considered against another despite the admonitory precaution of the court? 3. Are the defenses of the defendants antagonistic to each other or to each other’s rights? [Cit.] If the defendant can show the court by some facts that failure to sever will prejudice him under one or more of
*245
these considerations, his motion should probably be granted.”
Cain v. State,
Appellants Jordan and Wood each raises the spectre that evidence admissible against one of his co-defendants was used against him to convict him of the crimes in which he was not an active participant. As noted in Division 1, much, if not all, of the evidence admitted against each defendant was admissible against his co-defendants since the State prosecuted the case on a conspiracy theory. See
Robinson v. State,
Appellant Graham posits that separate trials might have resulted in a different outcome. However, “ ‘[t]he burden is on the defendant requesting the severance to do more than raise the possibility that a separate trial would give him a better chance of acquittal.’ [Cits.]”
Armour v. State,
Graham also contends that the joint trial prejudiced him by making his co-defendants unavailable to testify. “In order to have his motion for severance granted, however, the defendant must show not only that his co-defendant will probably not testify at trial where he could cross-examine him or elicit the testimony desired, but also that the testimony of the co-defendant would tend to exculpate the defendant.”
Cain v. State,
supra, p. 130. No such showing was made. Therefore, the trial court did not abuse its discretion in denying the motion to sever.
Myrick v. State,
Graham also argues that the joint trial prevented him from testifying in his own behalf. However, the record reflects that Graham made a knowing and intelligent exercise of his constitutional right not to testify.
Each of the three appellants contends that his defense was antagonistic to those of his co-defendants. “The mere fact that co-defendants’ defenses are antagonistic is not sufficient in itself to warrant separate trials. [Cit.]” Cain v. State, supra, p. 129. No clear showing of prejudice having been made, it was not error to deny the motions to sever.
3. The trial court also denied each defendant’s motion to suppress and motion in limine, all of which were concerned with the shotgun used in the attempted armed robbery of Mclnnis and in the aggravated assaults of the two police officers.
When appellants abandoned the station wagon and fled into the wooded, swampy area, they took the shotgun belonging to Graham’s father with them. However, none of them had it in his possession when captured. At the hearing on the motions to suppress, the State *246 presented evidence that Graham, after being given his Miranda warnings, told a police officer that the gun had been thrown in the swamp near the place of capture. The Cobb County sheriff had this information and, after hearing that Graham had voiced some concern for the shotgun, talked with Graham about assisting in the search for the gun. The sheriff testified that some days later, Graham said that he had spoken with his attorney and with his parents and agreed to help find the gun so that it could be returned to his father. He went with law enforcement officers to the area where appellants were captured and pointed out several places where he believed the gun to be. However, none proved correct, and the weapon was found by a wading police officer armed with a magnet. The attorney representing Graham at that time stated at the suppression hearing that he had told Graham not to talk with law enforcement officers and that he could not recall receiving any phone call from Graham. In their motions to suppress, the defendants claimed that the gun had been found in violation of their Fourth and Sixth Amendment rights. The trial court concluded that the defendants had abandoned the gun; that Wood and Jordan had no standing; and that Graham had freely and voluntarily waived his right to have counsel present during the sheriffs questioning, and had consented to aid in the search for the gun.
To support their contention that they have standing to complain about the search of the swamp and the seizure of the gun, appellants Wood and Jordan rely on
Cook v. State,
Appellant Graham also is without standing to challenge the search of the swamp and the seizure of the shotgun. Like Jordan and Wood, he had no legitimate expectation of privacy in the swamp and since he abandoned the shotgun in the swamp, he has no standing to challenge its seizure.
Nelson v. State,
Graham argues that he did not make a valid waiver of his right to have counsel present during the search for the gun or to consult with his attorney prior to the search. At the suppression hearing, the sheriff stated that he urged Graham to consult his attorney and that appellant replied that he had done so and was willing to aid in the search. There was no evidence that appellant was physically or mentally disabled due to drug or alcohol influence. As appellant points out, “ ‘[a] waiver is ordinarily an intentional relinquishment or abandonment of a known right or privilege. The determination of whether there has been an intelligent waiver of the right to counsel must depend, in each case, upon the particular facts and circumstances surrounding that case, including the background, experience, and conduct of the accused.’ Johnson v. Zerbst, [
4. All appellants maintain that the trial court erroneously failed to dismiss a juror for cause. The juror in question, Kathy Lloyd, was seated as the first of two alternate jurors after appellants had exhausted their peremptory challenges.
Ms. Lloyd stood up when the trial court, propounding the statutory voir dire questions found at OCGA § 15-12-164 (a), inquired whether any juror had any bias or prejudice for or against the defendants. She informed the court that she was a volunteer probation officer who, coincidentally, had been in the police station during the police chase and had overheard the police radio transmissions. She had also read several newspaper accounts of the incidents which formed the bases for the indictments. Further inquiry revealed that she had not formed or expressed an opinion for or against the defendants; that she felt no partiality to the State or the defendants; and that she subscribed to the belief that the State had to prove its case while the defendants had to prove nothing. In response to questioning by the court, Ms. Lloyd stated that she could listen to the admitted testimony and follow the court’s legal instructions, apply that law to the facts presented, and not be swayed by anything she previously *248 knew about the case. She concluded that she could act fairly and impartially.
“The conduct of the voir dire and whether to strike a juror for cause, are within the discretion of the trial court, and the court’s rulings are proper absent some manifest abuse of discretion. [Cit.] . . . This prospective juror testified that she had no opinion on the defendant[s'] guilt or innocence, that if selected as a juror, she could listen to all of the evidence and arrive at a verdict based on that evidence applied to the law as charged by the court, regardless of any talk which she had heard, and that she would not let anything she had previously heard or read sway her. There was no abuse of discretion in failing to strike this juror for cause.”
Taylor v. State,
Appellant Graham contends that Ms. Lloyd’s position as a volunteer probation officer was reason enough to strike her for cause under OCGA § 15-12-1. The statute, as it was in effect at the time of jury selection in appellants’ trial, exempted full-time law enforcement officers from jury duty, and specifically denied the exemption to part-time or honorary peace officers. Thus, Ms. Lloyd was not statutorily exempt from serving on the jury. Appellant Graham contends that this court’s holding in
Corvair Furniture Mfg. Co. v. Bull,
5. Ms. Lloyd was called from her position as alternate juror to replace a juror who was excused by the trial court due to illness. After being told that a juror had bumped her head, the trial court noticed that the juror “seemed to be distressed.” The trial continued after a short recess was taken in order for the juror to compose herself. After the luncheon break, the juror reported that she felt fine; however, later that afternoon the trial court announced that the bailiff had reported the injured juror to be “quite ill” and seeking to be excused. After a side bar conference, the trial court excused the ill juror and replaced her with Ms. Lloyd. Appellants argue that the trial court’s actions were erroneous and should only have followed a hearing on the severity of the stricken juror’s illness.
“If at any time, whether before or after final submission of the case to the jury, a juror dies, or becomes ill . . . the first alternate juror shall take the place of the first juror becoming incapacitated
*249
. . .” OCGA § 15-12-172. The excusal of a juror and the substitution of the alternate juror are matters “necessarily within the discretion of the trial court and no abuse of discretion has been shown. The substitution of the alternate juror was proper. [Cits.]”
Green v. State,
6. Appellants maintain that they have been denied their right to appeal because the contents of a tape played during the trial were not transcribed. Appellants argue that the failure to transcribe the tape has rendered the transcript incomplete and violates that trial court’s order for complete recordation and transcription of the proceedings. After the trial, the court reporter informed the court that she had been unable to take down and transcribe those portions of the tape which were played.
The tape in issue is the Marietta Police Department’s recordation of the radio transmissions made by its various personnel during the pursuit of appellants. A proper foundation for a relevant sound recording was laid prior to the playing of the tape before the jury. See
Steve M. Solomon, Inc. v. Edgar,
“The record and transcript of the case, which includes the reel of tape as an exhibit thereto, have been examined by this court. [Appellants’] claim of an incomplete record is without merit. [Cit.]”
Ellis v. State,
supra at 373, Division 16. Furthermore, during their testimony, the officers identified their recorded voices and explained the contents of the played portions, including the police jargon used. The tape served to aurally illustrate each officer’s testimony concerning the pursuit of appellants and their victims. “The evidence provided by the [tape] . . . was thus cumulative in nature rather than critical.”
Carpenter v. State,
Graham contends that the failure to transcribe the portions of the tape also denied him Fifth and Sixth Amendment rights guaranteed by the United States Constitution. He does not explain how he was so deprived, and we have been unable to discern such a deprivation. The enumerated error is therefore deemed abandoned. Court of Appeals Rule 15 (c) (2);
Wilkie v. State,
7. All three appellants contend that their convictions should be reversed because they were allegedly denied their Fifth and Sixth Amendment rights due to the court reporter’s failure to file the trial *250 transcripts in a timely manner. While appellants were convicted on February 3, 1982, the trial transcript was not completed until late January 1983.
The questions presented by appellants appear to be of first impression in this state. However, courts of other jurisdictions have recognized that a defendant may be denied due process of law where there is an inordinate delay in the appellate process, including an excessive delay in the furnishing of a trial transcript necessary for completion of an appellate record. See United States v. Pratt, 645 F2d 89 (1st Cir. 1981); Rheuark v. Shaw, 628 F2d 297 (5th Cir. 1980); State v. Chappie,
In analyzing the same question presented here, the Fifth Circuit, in Rheuark, adopted an approach which we now endorse: the similarity of a defendant’s interests in a speedy trial and a speedy appeal are such that the balancing test adopted for speedy trial violations in Barker v. Wingo,
The four facts enunciated in Barker v. Wingo, supra at 530 are the “[l]ength of delay, the reason for the delay, the defendant’s assertion of his right, and prejudice to the defendant.” We now undertake an analysis of the facts in appellants’ case in light of those four factors.
(1) Although a one-year delay in the appellate process is lengthy, “[t]he mere passage of time is not enough, without more, to constitute a denial of due process.”
Hughes v. State,
8. Appellants Wood and Jordan seek reversal of their convictions on the ground that the trial court erroneously denied their motions for a change in venue which were based upon extensive pre-trial media coverage.
“ ‘The law in Georgia is well established, and a myriad of cases so hold, that a motion for a change of venue addresses itself to the sound discretion of the trial judge, and that discretion will not be disturbed on appeal unless it can be shown that there was an abuse of this discretion.’ [Cit.]”
Quick v. State,
Although appellants claim that Kathy Lloyd was allowed to sit on the jury despite having announced that she had developed a fixed opinion regarding the guilt or innocence of the accuseds, this contention was laid to rest in Division 4 of this opinion. Appellants having failed to produce evidence that the members of the jury had fixed opinions as to appellants’ guilt based upon the media coverage, there was no error in denying the motions for a change in venue.
Graves v. State,
supra;
Heard v. State,
9. Wood and Jordan also take exception to a pre-evidentiary charge given by the trial court to the jury. They contend that the charge instructed the jury to violate its statutory oath. Although appellants voiced no objection to the charge at trial (see
Scott v. State,
After reminding the jury that it was the sole judge of the facts, *252 the trial court stated: “It is especially important that you perform your duty of determining the facts diligently and conscientiously, for ordinarily there is means of correcting an erroneous determination of facts by the jury.” The instruction given was inadequate in that the word “no” was omitted from the phrase “there is no means of correcting ...”
“The general rule is that, ‘A mere verbal inaccuracy in a charge, which results from a palpable “slip of the tongue,” and clearly could not have misled or confused the jury’ is not reversible error. [Cit.]”
Gober v. State,
10. Wood and Jordan filed motions to compel disclosure under Brady v. Maryland,
“We hold that a trial court is not required to conduct an in camera inspection of the state’s file in connection with a ‘general’ Brady motion unless, after the state has made its response to the motion, the defense makes a request for such an inspection. [Cits.] . . . Our holding in this case should not be construed as requiring
reversal
of a conviction solely on account of the trial court’s failure to conduct an in camera inspection. Assuming material information has not been wrongfully withheld, ‘this error . . . (generally) could be cured by post-trial examination . . .’ [Cit.]”
Tribble v. State,
Appellants also contend that the trial court had the duty to copy and seal the State’s file in order to preserve it for appellate review. “The Supreme Court and this court have held that only materials which have been
examined
by the trial court need to be sealed, preserved, and copied for review on appeal. [Cits.]”
Steele v. State,
*253 11. Both Wood and Jordan contest the denial of their motions to suppress the identification testimony of victim Horsley on the ground that it was tainted because the photographic lineup displayed to the victim was impermissibly suggestive. Jordan maintains that the identification testimony of victim Mclnnis should also be suppressed for the same reason. Both appellants argue that the photo lineups were suggestive because the pictures varied in size and texture and the witnesses gave only vague descriptions of appellants.
Our review of the transcript of the hearing on the issue reveals that a display of ten photographs, including one of each of the appellants, was shown to each witness prior to appellants’ apprehension. Mclnnis identified the photo of Jordan as the front seat passenger wielding the shotgun and that of Graham as the driver. Horsley picked out appellants’ photographs and identified them as his assailants.
“A pre-trial identification procedure may bé so tainted as to require exclusion of an in-court identification, if, under all the circumstances, the procedure was both impermissibly suggestive and it resulted in a substantial likelihood of irreparable misidentification. [Cits.]”
Arnold v. State,
12. Jordan also takes issue with the trial court’s denial of his motion to be excused from the courtroom during the hearing on the motion to suppress the identification testimony of Mclnnis.
“In Georgia, a criminal defendant is constitutionally guaranteed the right to be present at all stages of his trial. [Cits.] As with any constitutional right, this one may be waived by the defendant. [Cit.] However, that is not to say that a defendant has an absolute right to waive his right to be present at trial. [Cit.] ... [A] criminal defendant’s right to be present at his trial does not include a concomitant right of absence. [Cits.] Where identification of the defendant by a witness is contemplated by the prosecution, the state is entitled to demand the presence of the defendant. [Cits.] It was not error for the trial court to refuse to honor appellant’s request to leave the courtroom, since . . . the trial court is empowered to order a criminal defendant’s personal appearance when it is necessary to properly conduct the trial. [Cit.]”
Lewis v. State,
*254
13. Appellants claim that they were denied a fair trial because their co-indictee, Droxler, testified as a witness for the State and his name was not included on the list of witnesses prepared by the State pursuant to OCGA § 17-7-110. “The purpose of [OCGA § 17-7-110] is to ‘insure that an accused is not confronted at trial with testimony against him from witnesses whom he has not had an opportunity to interview prior to trial.’ [Cit.] When, as in this case, a witness’ name is contained in the indictment, a defendant cannot validly contend that he had been surprised or unable to interview the witness in question through lack of knowledge of such witness. Therefore the trial court committed no harmful error. [Cit.]”
Herring v. State,
14. Droxler, as well as another witness for the State, testified that appellants had been incarcerated in Alabama immediately prior to their escapades in Georgia. Appellants claim that this testimony impermissibly placed their character in issue.
“ ‘The general rule is, that, on a prosecution for a particular crime, evidence which in any manner shows or tends to show that the accused has committed another crime wholly independent from that for which he is on trial, even though it be a crime of the same sort, is irrelevant and inadmissible.’ [Cits.] However, where such evidence of other criminal transactions is part of the res gestae or tends to show motive, or to show a course of conduct pointing toward and leading to the crime or to the concealment of the crime or the identity of the perpetrator thereof, such evidence is admissible as an exception to this general rule. [Cits.]”
Spurlin v. State,
15. During the testimony of the physician who treated Officer *255 Harper’s wounds, the State introduced photographs of Harper’s injuries. The pictures were admitted over the objections of defense counsel that they were irrelevant and inflammatory.
The indictment charged appellants with using a deadly weapon, the shotgun, to commit the aggravated assault on Officer Harper. Thus, assault with a deadly weapon was an essential element of the offense of aggravated assault upon the police officer (OCGA § 16-5-21 (c)), “and it was necessary to describe the injuries inflicted to establish that the gun used by [appellants] was capable of being a deadly weapon.”
Haygood v. State,
16. After the State rested and the trial court ruled on appellants’ motions for directed verdict, appellants Graham and Wood sought a continuance until the following morning. The continuance was denied and each defendant rested without putting on any evidence. Graham now appeals from the denial of the continuance.
“All applications for continuances are addressed to the sound legal discretion of the court and, if not expressly provided for, shall be granted or refused as the ends of justice may require.” OCGA § 17-8-22. “The grant or denial of a continuance is within the sound discretion of the trial court and will not be disturbed on appeal absent a showing of an abuse of discretion. [Cit.] . . . [Defendants have failed to demonstrate how additional time would have benefited them or how the lack of time harmed them. [Cit.] For that reason, we find no error in the trial court’s denial of appellants’ motion for continuance.”
Wilson v. State,
17. Appellant Jordan maintains that the trial court committed reversible error in the sentencing phase of the trial when it admitted into evidence his prior record of which, appellant contends, he was not given timely notice.
“[OCGA § 17-10-2 (a)] provides that upon the return of a guilty verdict by a jury in a felony case, a pre-sentence hearing shall be conducted to determine the punishment to be imposed. At this hearing additional evidence in extenuation, mitigation, and aggravation of punishment, including the defendant’s prior record, may be heard. The statute provides, however, that evidence on aggravation shall be admissible only if the defendant has been given this evidence prior to trial.” Herring v. State, supra, Division 4.
The record reflects that the assistant district attorney orally notified defense counsel at a pre-trial motions hearing of the prior convictions the State would use in aggravation in the event the jury returned guilty verdicts. At that time he noted that certified copies of *256 the convictions had been delayed but would be made available to defense counsel as soon as possible. The assistant district attorney also requested the court to delay sentencing to insure that defense counsel had sufficient time to review the prior convictions tendered. Appellants were found guilty on February 3, 1982, and sentenced on February 8, 1982.
“ ‘All the statute [OCGA § 17-10-2 (a)] requires is “clear notice” to an accused of all previous convictions that the state intends to introduce at trial.’
Potts v. State,
18. Appellant Graham argues that the trial court’s instructions to the jury on the rebuttable presumptions that a person of sound mind intends the natural and probable consequences of his acts, and that such acts are presumed to be the product of that person’s will, were burden-shifting, in violation of the United States Supreme Court’s holding in Sandstrom v. Montana,
19. At the hearing on the motion for new trial, it was revealed that the Cobb County Sheriff’s office, at the request of the district attorney, had checked its files to determine if any potential juror in this case had run afoul of the law in Cobb County. The captain in charge of the records stated that he recalled that four or five persons whose names were on the list of potential jurors had had local police records.
Appellants contend that they were denied a right to equal access to the material. Even assuming that such a right exists, appellants have not shown how they were denied that right. The sheriff testified that it was sometime after the completion of appellants’ trial that it was decided not to disburse the information gleaned from the local records to defense attorneys who requested it. Attorneys for appellants admitted that they never requested the information from the sheriff’s office or the district attorney. Thus, we fail to see any harm appellants suffered from the district attorney’s use of the material.
20. Appellant Graham enumerates as error the denial of his motion for mistrial made at the conclusion of the State’s closing argument. However, in light of the dearth of authority or argument presented on that alleged error, we must deem it abandoned in accor *257 dance with Court of Appeals Rule 15 (c) (2).
Judgments affirmed.
