Justice Frye
concurring in result.
The Court’s decisions today in this case and in Davis v. Hiatt, 326 N.C. 462, 390 S.E.2d 338 (1990), follow naturally from this *470Court’s holding in State v. Holden, 321 N.C. 125, 161-62, 362 S.E.2d 513, 535-36 (1987), to which I dissented. While I continue to believe that Holden was incorrectly decided insofar as it held that a no contest plea and final judgment entered thereon constituted a conviction under N.C.G.S. § 15A-2000(e), it is now the law of this State, and I am bound thereby. Accordingly, I concur in the result reached by the Court.
