PER CURIAM.

Appellant has taken this appeal from a conviction and ‍​​​‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌​‌‌‌‌​‌​​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌​​‌​​‌​‌​​​​‌​​‌‌‌‌​‌​‌‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌‍sentence arising out of a jury trial for the crime of armed robbery. He raises three issues which ‍​​​‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌​‌‌‌‌​‌​​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌​​‌​​‌​‌​​​​‌​​‌‌‌‌​‌​‌‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌‍he feels constituted error during the trial, to-wit: prejudiced remarks by the prosecution during the opening statement to the ‍​​​‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌​‌‌‌‌​‌​​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌​​‌​​‌​‌​​​​‌​​‌‌‌‌​‌​‌‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌‍jury; improper exclusion of testimony by the trial judge; and insufficiency of the identification given by the state’s witnesses.

After ‍​​​‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌​‌‌‌‌​‌​​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌​​‌​​‌​‌​​​​‌​​‌‌‌‌​‌​‌‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌‍carefully examining the record in this case and having considered the briefs and arguments of counsel, we have ‍​​​‌‌​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​‌​​‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌​‌‌‌‌​‌​​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌​​‌​​‌​‌​​​​‌​​‌‌‌‌​‌​‌‌‌‌​‌​​​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌‍concluded that the judgment and sentence appealed should be affirmed.

Affirmed.
