      F. M. Holsteen, Burlington, for appellant.

   PER CURIAM.

Defendant, Bernard Kent, was charged by county attorney’s information with the crime of false drawing and uttering a check in violation of section 713.3, Code, 1966 in the amount of $25.76, payable to Holiday Inn. He was at all times here involved represented by attorney F. M. Hol-steen.

At arraignment defendant was granted until May 15, 1969 to move or plead. On that date he entered a plea of not guilty. Trial was set for August 12. On July 18 defendant personally and by his attorney entered a plea of guilty to the crime charged. On September 26, 1969, after being carefully questioned by the presiding judge, defendant was sentenced and committed to the Men’s Reformatory at Ana-mosa for a period not to exceed seven years. It was ordered this sentence run concurrently with the sentence imposed the same day on defendant for a similar offense.

On October 24, 1969 defendant by his attorney gave notice of appeal.

The attorney general has approved this application. We have examined the record submitted under the provisions of Code section 793.18 and find no error. Hence the judgment is

Affirmed.
