MADDOX, Justice

(dissenting).

I respectfully dissent. In my opinion, Burgett v. Texas, 389 U.S. 109, 88 S.Ct. 258, 19 L.Ed.2d 319 and Baldasar v. Illinois, 446 U.S. 222, 100 S.Ct. 1585, 64 L.Ed.2d 169, are inapplicable to a revocation of probation proceeding because an uncounseled conviction is not invalid for all purposes. Cf. Lewis v. United States, 445 U.S. 55, 100 S.Ct. 915, 63 L.Ed.2d 198 (1980).

TORBERT, C. J., and ALMON, J., concur.
