¶1 The record contains no exceptions and no assignments of error. The only question for review, therefore, is whether error appears on the face of the record proper. “When the case on appeal contains no assignments of error, the judgment must be sustained, unless error appears on the face of the record.” State v.

Darnell, 266 N.C. 640, 146 S.E. 2d 800 (1966).

We note that John Raymond Dozier, defendant’s accomplice in the commission of this kidnapping and rape, was convicted by a jury on both charges and received a life sentence in each case.

This is just a perfunctory appeal — another example of gross abuse by an indigent defendant of the unlimited right of appeal.
