APPEAL by defendant from Hall, J., August 1968 Criminal Session ALAMANCE Superior Court.

Attorney General T. W. Bruton and Assistant Attorney General Millard R. Rich, Jr., for the State.

Harold T. Dodge for defendant appellant.


Defendant was charged on two counts in a single bill of indictment, proper in form, first, with felonious breaking and entering, and second, with larceny. At the trial he tendered, and the State accepted, pleas of guilty to non-felonious breaking and entering and to non-felonious larceny. Judgment was entered imposing an active sentence of two years upon the first count and a sentence of one year on the second count to begin at the expiration of the two year sentence imposed on the first count. From this judgment, defendant appealed.


Appellant's sole assignment of error is to the signing of the judgment. This presents the face of the record proper for review. 1 Strong, N.C. Index 2d, Appeal and Error, 26, p. 152. Appellant's brief admits that his pleas of guilty were freely and voluntarily entered. The sentences imposed were within statutory limits. G.S. 14-3. Appellant's court-appointed counsel has frankly stated in his brief that he is unable to suggest any error in connection with the proceedings in this case. After careful review of the record, we agree, and find

No error.

BROCK and BRITT, JJ., concur.
