Heading: Whether Spry was improperly denied medication?

Text: ¶ 3. Spry argues that his guilty plea was not entered voluntarily because he had not been given anti-depression medication for three weeks preceding his plea and sentence. The trial court found that the record of Spry's guilty plea hearing contradicted the unsupported assertions in his Motion for Post Conviction relief. Spry denied under oath at his plea hearing that he had been treated for any psychiatric or mental illness. The transcript clearly states: BY THE COURT: Within the past six months, have you been treated for any psychiatric or mental illnesses? SPRY: No, sir. ¶ 4. Spry offered no affidavits in support of this claim. As the record clearly contradicts Spry's allegation, the Court finds this assertion to be without merit. See Ford v. State, 708 So.2d 73, 76 (Miss.1998); Smith v. State, 636 So.2d 1220, 1224 (Miss. 1994).
