PER CURIAM.
The appellant entered a guilty plea and then appealed the denial of her motion for discharge pursuant to the speedy trial rule. We affirm the judgment of guilty upon authority of the rule stated in White v. State, Fla.App.1973, 273 So. 2d 782. See Fowler v. United States, 391 F. 2d 276 (5th Cir. 1968); United States v. Doyle, 348 F. 2d 715 (2d Cir. 1965).
It is urged that the cited rule ought not be applied in this case since the guilty plea was involuntarily entered because the appellant was led to believe that she could reserve her right to an appeal upon the speedy trial question if she pleaded guilty to the charge. We reject the creation of the desired exception, but we note that the question of the voluntariness of a plea is one of fact. It is properly raised by a motion in the trial court.
