Opinion:
PARKER, Judge.
Before accepting the plea, the trial judge examined defendant and found his plea was freely, understandingly and volun tarily made. Defendant's signed transcript of plea supports these findings. The acceptance of the plea will not be disturbed on this appeal. State v. Roberts, 279 N.C. 500, 183 S.E. 2d 647; State v. Witherspoon, 279 N.C. 490, 183 S.E. 2d 552. We have carefully examined the record and find
No error.
Judges Bkock and Morris concur.
