OPINION

A jury convicted Albert O’Neal Scott of the first degree murder of Lynette Blake and the attempted murder of Janice Crisp. He was sentenced to consecutive terms of life imprisonment and twenty years in state prison, with the possibility of parole. His conviction was affirmed in Scott v. State, 92 Nev. 552, 554 P.2d 735 (1976).1 Scott later sought post-conviction *727relief, pursuant to NRS 177.315-177.385, alleging certain errors were committed during the course of his trial and on appeal. The district court considered each of the assignments but denied relief on the ground that they were or could have been raised in the direct appeal and good cause has not been shown for the failure to do so. NRS 177.375(2);2 Cf. Stewart v. Warden, 92 Nev. 588, 555 P.2d 218 (1976). We agree with the district court and affirm.

Scott asserts that his prior appointed appellate counsel was inadequate and ineffective. Our examination of the record demonstrates that this contention is wholly without merit. Sullivan v. Warden, 91 Nev. 563, 540 P.2d 112 (1975); Warden v. Lischko, 90 Nev. 221, 523 P.2d 6 (1974); Sheriff v. Povey, 87 Nev. 603, 491 P.2d 84 (1971); Bean v. State, 86 Nev. 80, 465 P.2d 133 (1970), cert. denied 400 U.S. 844 (1970).

The additional issues tendered by appellant are likewise without merit.
