Before RIGGS, P.J., and LANDAU and LEESON, JJ.

PER CURIAM.

Petitioner argues that he is entitled to post-conviction relief because he was indicted by a grand jury that was constitutionally inadequate, in that the grand jury was reduced in size to fewer than seven members without notice to him. Even assuming that *869 the indictment was constitutionally defective, that defect, if any, does not constitute a basis for post-conviction relief. Goodwin v. State of Oregon, 125 Or.App. 359, 363, 866 P.2d 466 (1993), rev. den. 319 Or. 80, 876 P.2d 783 (1994).

Affirmed.
