## Opinion text

^HIGHTOWER, J.,
concurring.
Defendant’s evidence-sufficiency complaint, raised merely by assignment of error rather than by post-trial motion for acquittal in the district court, is not properly before us. See La.C.Cr.P. art. 821; State v. Hall, 624 So.2d 927 (La.App. 2d Cir.1993), writ denied, 629 So.2d 1182 (La.1993); Bates v. Blackburn, 805 F.2d 569 (5th Cir.1986), cert. denied, 482 U.S. 916 , 107 S.Ct. 3190 , 96 L.Ed.2d 678 (1987). See also discussion in concurrence to State v. Green, 28,994 (La.App.2d Cir.02/25/97), 691 So.2d 1273 , and authorities therein. Thus, I do not reach that aspect of the appeal, but otherwise concur in the affirmance of the sentence.
