¶1*661OPINION

PER CURIAM.

¶2This is a sentence appeal.

¶3Bennie Washington was convicted of attempted robbery. He was sentenced to five years of imprisonment.

¶4We have reviewed the record in light of State v. Chaney, A77 P.2d 441 (Alaska 1970); Donlun v. State, 527 P.2d 472, 475 (Alaska 1974); Cleary v. State, 548 P.2d 952 (Alaska 1976) and Bradley v. State, 535 P.2d 1031, 1033-34 (Alaska 1975).

¶5We note that Washington was convicted in Wisconsin in 1970 for armed robbery and for carrying a concealed weapon. He was 31 years old at the time of his sentencing in Alaska. Although Washington labored under certain disadvantages in his early life these are offset by a number of advantages afforded him in his adult life, and in any event do not mitigate his resort to criminal activities.

¶6From our review of the record we cannot say that the sentencing judge was clearly mistaken.
