1Opinion of the CourtCavanagh, J.
Defendant asserts that, contrary to Estelle v Smith, 451 US 454; 101 S Ct 1866; 68 L Ed 2d 359 (1981), he was not properly informed that he had a Fifth Amendment privilege against self-incrimination and a Sixth Amendment right to counsel at his presentence psychiatric examination.

We thus uphold the Court of Appeals affirmance of defendant’s conviction.
