Jimmy Lee Gibson was indicted by the Grand Jury of the First Judicial District of Hinds County for the statutory offense of armed robbery.

State, 475 So. 2d 167 (1985); Willis v. State, 475 So. 2d 163 (1985); and Jordan v. State, 474 So. 2d 622 (1985), as they rely on Morea v. State, 329 So. 2d 527 (Miss. 1976).

AFFIRMED.

WALKER and ROY NOBLE LEE, P.JJ., and HAWKINS, DAN M. LEE, PRATHER, ROBERTSON, SULLIVAN and ANDERSON, JJ., concur.
