Appeal from St. Joseph, Mark S. Andrews, J.
Submitted Division 3 March 8, 1972, at Grand Rapids.
(Docket No. 10841.)
Decided May 2, 1972.
Frank J. Kelley, Attorney General, Robert A. Derengoski, Solicitor General, and James Noecker, Prosecuting Attorney, for the people.

Before: T. M. Burns, P. J., and Fitzgerald and Danhof, JJ.

Opinion:
Memorandum Opinion. The defendant pled guilty in St. Joseph County Circuit Court to a charge of breaking and entering a building. Following his plea, the defendant was sentenced to a term of three to ten years and appeals from that sentence.
The defendant contends that the requirements of Boykin v Alabama, 395 US 238; 89 S Ct 1709; 23 L Ed 2d 274 (1969), were not met because the trial court did not inform him of his privilege against self-incrimination before accepting the plea.
The record confirms that the defendant was not specifically advised of his constitutional privilege against self-incrimination. Accordingly the conviction is reversed, the plea is vacated and the cause remanded to the trial court for further proceedings on the basis of People v Jaworski, 387 Mich 21 (1972). (Released March 9, 1972.)
