State v. Litzenburg

Supreme Court of Nebraska
Sep 5, 1985
374 N.W.2d 1 (Neb. 1985)

Opinion

No. 84-898.

Filed September 5, 1985.

Appeal from the District Court for Cheyenne County: JOHN D. KNAPP, Judge. Reversed and remanded for further proceedings.

R.E. Richards of Richards Richards, for appellant.

A. Eugene Crump, Deputy Attorney General, and Terry R. Schaaf, for appellee.

KRIVOSHA, C.J., BOSLAUGH, WHITE, HASTINGS, CAPORALE, SHANAHAN, and GRANT, JJ.


This case is a direct appeal in which the only error assigned is that the sentence imposed was excessive. That contention is without merit.

In this case, however, the record discloses plain error in that the trial court at the arraignment failed to advise the defendant of his right against self-incrimination. Such a record will not support a finding that the plea was entered voluntarily and intelligently. State v. Tweedy, 209 Neb. 649, 309 N.W.2d 94 (1981); State v. Branch, ante p. 754, 371 N.W.2d 740 (1985); State v. Wright, post p. 847, 374 N.W.2d 26 (1985).

Accordingly, the judgment is reversed, defendant's conviction and sentence are vacated, and the cause is remanded to the district court for further proceedings.

REVERSED AND REMANDED FOR FURTHER PROCEEDINGS.
