Ronnie JAMES, Appellant, v. STATE of Florida, Appellee.
    No. U-318.
    District Court of Appeal of Florida, First District.
    May 16, 1974.
    Richard W. Ervin, III, Public Defender, and David J. Busch, Asst. Public Defender, for appellant.
    Robert L. Shevin, Atty. Gen., and Carolyn M. Snurkowski, Asst. Atty. Gen., for appellee.
   PER CURIAM.

This court has carefully considered the record and the briefs of counsel and, on the authority of North Carolina v. Alford, 400 U.S. 25, 91 S.Ct. 160, 27 L.Ed.2d 162 (1970), we find that the trial court properly accepted the defendant’s plea of guilty. See also Estes v. State, Fla.App. (1st) 1974, 294 So.2d 122. Accordingly, the judgment appealed is

Affirmed.

RAWLS, C. J., and BOYER, J., concur.

McCORD, J., concurring specially.

McCORD, Judge

(concurring specially).

From the record it is clear that appellant’s plea of guilty to the charge of aggravated assault in this cause was the result of a negotiated plea wherein the state nolle prossed two additional cases against defendant, each charging breaking and entering with intent to commit a felony and grand larceny. I agree with affirmance on authority of Estes v. State cited in main opinion.
