Opinion

Docket No. 6,687.

Decided December 8, 1969.

Appeal from Recorder's Court of Detroit, John P. Scallen, J. Submitted Division 1 December 12, 1969, at Detroit. (Docket No. 6,687.) Decided December 8, 1969.

Coby Hooper was convicted, on his plea of guilty, of assault with intent to rob being armed. Defendant appeals. Reversed and remanded.

Frank J. Kelley, Attorney General, Robert A. Derengoski, Solicitor General, William L. Cahalan, Prosecuting Attorney, Samuel J. Torina, Chief Appellate Lawyer, and Arthur N. Bishop, Assistant Prosecuting Attorney, for the people.

Edward P. Echlin, for defendant on appeal.

Before: R.B. BURNS, P.J., and HOLBROOK and V.J. BRENNAN, JJ.


Defendant pleaded guilty to the crime of assault with intent to rob being armed. MCLA § 750.89 (Stat Ann 1962 Rev § 28.284).

Defendant has appealed, claiming the trial court committed reversible error under GCR 1963, 785.3 (2), in failing to obtain from the defendant what acts in fact he had committed so as to constitute the crime to which he entered a plea of guilty.

A review of the record shows that the trial court made virtually no determination of the factual basis for the plea. This total violation of GCR 1963, 785.3(2), requires reversal under People v. Perine (1967), 7 Mich. App. 292, 294; People v. Mason (1968), 13 Mich. App. 277; and People v. Creger (1969), 16 Mich. App. 59.

Reversed and remanded.
