1. ““THE COURT: ... At this time, Mr. Walker, I’m going to sentence you to 10 years to serve in [this case] and that sentence again would be pursuant to the limited grounds for the Rule 82 that I had already granted. “MR. WALKER: So is it concurrent with the ’04 case, Your Honor? “THE COURT: Mr. Walker it is whatever the law says it is. I’m not ordering anything special for you. Just whatever the law requires in this case is how it’s going to be handled. “MR. WALKER: The previous sentence was concurrent, this is the purpose of me pleading guilty to [this case] concurrent with ’04. If you’re resentencing me today [in this case] and not running it concurrent, then that was not part of the per se plea agreement. “THE COURT: I understand that’s yóur position. I’m telling you that whatever the law is, that’s how it’s going to be applied in this case. I’m not changing anything. “MR. WALKER: Okay. [Prosecutor]: Judge, would you go through on your plea of guilty I find you guilty and sentence him so that it’s clear? “THE COURT: Mr. Walker, I find you guilty of the offense of receiving stolen property 2nd. I find again that that plea is entered voluntarily, knowingly, understanding^, and freely, and I sentence you to 10 years to serve in accordance with the statutory provisions for a Class C felony. Anything else? “[Prosecutor]: Thank you. “MR. WALKER: I give notice of appeal, Your Honor.””
