N. J. Kaufman, P.J.
(dissenting). I respectfully dissent. Although I believe it is preferable for a trial court to warn a pleading defendant of the impact of Proposal B, I would not hold that it is reversible error to fail to do so. I agree with the majority opinions in People v Elder, 104 Mich App 651, 654; 305 NW2d 563 (1981), and People v Solomon, 104 Mich App 695, 697; 305 NW2d 295 (1981), that the imposition of any additional requirements on plea-taking courts should come from the Legislature or the Supreme Court.
I would affirm defendant’s conviction and sentence.
