State v. Rodriquez
Nebraska Supreme Court · Decided September 5, 1985 · Boslaugh, Caporale, Grant, Hastings, Krivosha, Shanahan, White
220 Neb. 808; 374 N.W.2d 1; 1985 Neb. LEXIS 1180

State v. Rodriquez

Opinion of the Court

Per Curiam.

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.
