2Per curiam

On December 12, 1968 Billy Don Riddle pleaded guilty to two counts of robbery for which he was sentenced to two five-year terms to run consecutively in the Nevada State Prison. Riddle was represented by counsel at that time.

Riddle asserts on appeal from denial of his petition for post-conviction relief that his guilty pleas were improperly entered because they were made involuntarily without understanding in violation of NRS 174.035(1), and that they were induced by promises of leniency; and that as a result of the improper entry of said pleas he waived his right to a jury.
