1. ““Appellant urges this Court to adopt a mandatory rule of compliance with Rule 17.2(b), supra. We do not agree with this approach. Where the record demonstrates that appellant’s plea was voluntary, knowingly and intelligently made; and where appellant’s counsel fails to show prejudice to the appellant as a result of the court’s failure to strictly comply with Rule 17.2(b), we find no compulsion to vacate appellant’s plea of guilty. The trial court’s failure to advise appellant of the special punishment provision contained in A.R.S. § 36-1002.- 02(A) was a technicál error. [citing Ariz.Const., Art. 6, § 27] * * * “See State v. Rodriguez, 112 Ariz. 193 , 540 P.2d 665 (1975). “We find from our review of the record that appellant’s plea was knowingly, intelligently and voluntarily made. No objection regarding the omission was made by counsel for appellant at the time of the plea, nor is there a subsequent showing by counsel of prejudice to appellant. We therefore find no basis on which to vacate appellant’s plea of guilty.” State v. Morones, Ariz., 542 P. 2d at 29-30 .”
