Cited by 1 case

Opinion of the Court
PER CURIAM.

PER CURIAM.

We reverse the summary denial of defendant’s motion for post-conviction relief upon the state’s confession that defendant’s plea, although voluntary, was not intelligently entered because he did not receive an explanation of the possibility and consequences of being sentenced as a habitual offender before accepting the plea.
