Text: Robbins raised a challenge to proceedings in regard to the first sentencing, which took place after he agreed to enter a guilty plea, in accord with a plea bargain agreement wherein Robbins so agreed in return for the prosecutor's agreement that the sentence imposed would contain a provision for retained jurisdiction. The understanding was that the retained jurisdiction would allow for Robbins to obtain a psychological examination, to which he also conceded, on the premise that it might thereafter lead to his receiving treatment for mental problems to which he admitted, and which caused him concern. For some reason the prosecutor did not, or could not, fulfill his commitment; it followed that the sentence imposed upon Robbins by Judge Magnuson did not include the rider of retained jurisdiction. Because of that development, Robbins filed an appeal with this Court, and, while we continued to retain jurisdiction, a stipulation that had been prepared by the office of the Idaho Attorney General was filed in this Court. It had been executed by two deputy attorney generals and sent to Robbins' defense counsel, who, in turn, executed it. That stipulation appears in full as Attachment A and is discussed, infra.
