OPINION
EVELYN V. KEYES, Justice.
John Paul Rivera, appellant, pleaded guilty to' three offenses of aggravated robbery. Following a pre-sentence investigation (PSI) hearing, the trial court assessed punishment at 20 years’ confinement in each case, with the sentences to run concurrently. In three issues, appellant argues that he was denied effective assistance of counsel, that the court erred in denying his counsel at least 10 days to prepare for the pre-sentence investigation hearing, and that the court erred in not withdrawing appellant’s plea of guilty. We affirm.
