STATE OF NORTH CAROLINA v. HOMER MACK GUFFEY

No. 7229SC602

(Filed 22 November 1972)

Appeal by defendant from Falls, Judge, 10 May 1972 Session of Superior Court held in Rutherford County.

Attorney General Robert Morgan and Associate Attorney E. Thomas Maddox, Jr., for the State.

James H. Burwell, Jr., for defendant appellant.

HEDRICK, Judge.

The record affirmatively shows that the defendant, represented by counsel, freely, understandingly and voluntarily pleaded guilty to a warrant, proper in form, which charged him with violating G.S. 20-28 (a) by operating a motor vehicle while his driver’s license was indefinitely suspended.

The judgment imposing a prison sentence of eighteen months is within the limits prescribed for a violation of the statute.

In the defendant’s trial in the Superior Court we find

No error.

Judges Vaughn and Graham concur.
