Per Curiam.

This appeal is devoid of merit. Appellant says ‍‌​‌​‌​​​‌​​​​​​​‌​​‌​‌​​​​​​​​‌‌​‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​​​​‌‌​​​‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌​‌​​‌‌‌​‌‌​​​‌​​​​‌​‌​‌​‌​​‌‌‌​​‌​​​‍the evidence was insufficient to sustain his conviction of robbery, because of his identification only by the prosecuting ‍‌​‌​‌​​​‌​​​​​​​‌​​‌​‌​​​​​​​​‌‌​‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​​​​‌‌​​​‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌​‌​​‌‌‌​‌‌​​​‌​​​​‌​‌​‌​‌​​‌‌‌​​‌​​​‍witness. This witness, at the trial, positively identified appellant as the offender, without equivocation. This was sufficient to ‍‌​‌​‌​​​‌​​​​​​​‌​​‌​‌​​​​​​​​‌‌​‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​​​​‌‌​​​‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌​‌​​‌‌‌​‌‌​​​‌​​​​‌​‌​‌​‌​​‌‌‌​​‌​​​‍warrant the conviction if believed, as it evidently was, by the trier of facts (the court). Appellant also ‍‌​‌​‌​​​‌​​​​​​​‌​​‌​‌​​​​​​​​‌‌​‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​​​​‌‌​​​‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌​‌​​‌‌‌​‌‌​​​‌​​​​‌​‌​‌​‌​​‌‌‌​​‌​​​‍makes a mild suggestion that his identification by the prosecuting witness in a lineup was made under unfair ‍‌​‌​‌​​​‌​​​​​​​‌​​‌​‌​​​​​​​​‌‌​‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​​​​‌‌​​​‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌​‌​​‌‌‌​‌‌​​​‌​​​​‌​‌​‌​‌​​‌‌‌​​‌​​​‍conditions. A careful examination reveals no such unfairness.

Judgment affirmed.
