Before McALLISTER, P.J., and SLOAN, and DENECKE, JJ.
PER CURIAM.
In this appeal from a conviction by the court after trial without a jury, defendant challenges the validity of the M'Naghten rule. ORS 136.410.
Defendant argues the M'Naghten rule is outmoded and should be replaced by the American Law Institute's Model Penal Code definitions of criminal responsibility. The validity of the M'Naghten rule statute and its application do not require further review by the court. State of Oregon v. Garver, 1950, 190 Or. 291, 225 P.2d 771, 27 A.L.R. 2d 105; State of Oregon v. Leland, 1952, 190 Or. 598, 227 P.2d 785, 343 U.S. 790, 72 S. Ct. 1002, 96 L. Ed. 1302. The argument made here must be made to the legislature.
Affirmed.
