COGGINS v. THE STATE.

BANKE, Judge.

The defendant appeals his convictions on three counts of mutiny in a penal institution. Held:

1. There is no indication that any of the prospective jurors had formed fixed opinions as to the defendant's guilt or innocence; and, consequently, the trial court did not abuse its discretion in denying the defendant's motion for change in venue. See Coleman v. State, 237 Ga. 84, 90 ( 226 S.E.2d 911) (1976); Baker v. State, 245 Ga. 657, 659 (2) ( 266 S.E.2d 477) (1980).

2. The evidence was sufficient to enable a rational trier of fact to find the defendant guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. Jackson v. Virginia, 443 U.S. 307, 310 (99 SC 2781, 61 L.Ed.2d 560) (1979); Baldwin v. State, 153 Ga. App. 35, 37 ( 264 S.E.2d 528) (1980). Judgment affirmed. McMurray, P. J., and Birdsong, J., concur.
