1Opinion of the Court

Hill, Justice.

Defendant Charles Aaron Butler was convicted by a jury of burglary, robbery and two counts of kidnapping with bodily injury. His conviction was affirmed, in an opinion reported at 239 Ga. 591 (238 SE2d 387) (1977), with direction that the trial court conduct a hearing to determine whether a tape made during a pre-trial interrogation of Clayton Hayes, Butler’s alleged accomplice, was in existence and, if so, whether allowing it to be withheld from the defendant was error. Butler v. State, 239 Ga. 591, supra. See Banks v. State, 235 Ga. 121 (218 SE2d 851) (1975).
