HOLLAND, Justice:

The defendant-appellant, Dennis 0. Wed-dington (“Weddington”), was indicted on charges of Attempted Murder in the First Degree, Possession of a Deadly Weapon During the Commission of a Felony, and Assault in the Second Degree. Wedding-ton was arraigned and entered pleas of not guilty. Weddington filed a pretrial motion to sever the trial of the assault charge from the trial for the attempted murder and weapon’s charges. That motion was denied at an unreported office conference. Following a jury trial, Weddington was found guilty as to all counts of the indictment.
