Heading: The Robbery Conviction

Text: Our review of the record in this case revealed a possible error in the judgment of conviction with respect to the conviction for robbery with the use of a deadly weapon. Both the plea agreement and the judgment of conviction indicate that Sullivan pleaded guilty to robbery with the use of a deadly weapon. However, in the plea agreement, Sullivan was informed of the sentence range for robbery, but not of the sentence enhancement for the use of a deadly weapon. Moreover, at the arraignment, the district court was informed that the state had agreed not to pursue the deadly weapon enhancement pursuant to the plea negotiations. The district court did not impose a sentence for the deadly weapon enhancement. Under the circumstances, it would appear that Sullivan pleaded guilty to robbery, not robbery with the use of a deadly weapon. Therefore, the judgment of conviction erroneously adjudicates Sullivan guilty of robbery with the use of a deadly weapon.
