FLEMING, J.

Charles E. Baker, a licensed medical doctor, appeals the judgment of conviction for prescribing narcotics to persons not under his treatment for a pathology. (Former Health & Saf. Code, § 11163, 1 two counts.)

On 3 August 1971 Undercover Agents Charles Stowell and Sandra Davis visited Dr. Baker’s office in Long Beach.
