Gaston v. Warden, Nevada State Prison
Gaston v. Warden, Nevada State Prison
Opinion of the Court
OPINION
Charles Gaston pleaded guilty to battery with the intent to commit rape and to carrying a concealed weapon and was sentenced to a term of seven years in the Nevada State Prison.
Gaston’s assertion that he was denied an evidentiary hearing as to the truth or falsity of an alleged promise by defense counsel that he would be sentenced to no more than five years if he pleaded guilty to lesser charges is unfounded. The record clearly indicates that Gaston was given an evidentiary hearing on his petition for post-conviction relief in which tMs issue was raised and resolved against him as being unsupported by the evidence. The record further indicates that his guilty pleas were knowingly and voluntarily entered. Armstrong v. Warden, 90 Nev. 8, 518 P.2d 147 (1974).
Affirmed.
