Court of Criminal Appeals of Alabama

1Opinion of the Court

PATTERSON, Judge.

The appellant, David Mantoz, alias, was indicted by a two-count indictment for the offense of trafficking in cannabis, as proscribed by § 20-2-80(1), Code of Alabama 1975, and possession of marijuana, as proscribed by § 20-2-70(a). Mantoz entered a plea of guilty to the trafficking offense and was sentenced to a term of ten years’ imprisonment and was fined $25,000.

On appeal, Mantoz contends that the trial court erred in accepting his plea because the record does not contain any factual basis upon which the court could properly accept a plea of guilty.
