“"Failure of a trial court to advise relator of his right to remain silent is harmless error if it is proved by competent evidence at the multiple offender hearing that relator was the same person convicted of the predicate offense in the multiple offender bill. State v. Mallett, 552 So.2d 28 (La.App. 3 Cir.1989)."”

¶4WRIT DENIED: Failure of a trial court to advise relator of his right to remain silent is harmless error if it is proved by competent evidence at the multiple offender hearing that relator was the same person convicted of the predicate offense in the multiple offender bill. State v. Mallett,552 So.2d 28 (La.App. 3 Cir.1989). Furthermore, convictions under the escape statute are legitimate "enhancement" offenses for purposes of a multiple offender bill. State v. Goodin,550 So.2d 801 (La. App. 2 Cir.1989).
