APPEAL BOOK ENDORSEMENT

[1] Mr. Villeneuve argues the trial judge erred in failing to have him psychologically assessed in preparation for his trial. Such an assessment would not have been relevant to the factual determinations made at his trial on which he was convicted. The appellant made no argument concerning his sentence which in our view is a fit sentence for very serious crimes.

[2] The appeal is dismissed.
