1Opinion of the Court

BOWEN, Presiding Judge.

This is an appeal from the denial of a petition for post-conviction relief. The appellant, Henry Lee McCasMU, through counsel, challenges his two 1992 convictions for robbery in the first degree. These convictions were based on guilty pleas and the appellant contends that he was not properly informed of the correct range of punishment and was not correctly informed of the elements of the charged offenses before entering those pleas. These contentions are based on the appellant’s assertion that he was armed with only a “BB gun” during the commission of the robberies.
