¶3(concurring specially).

¶4From the record it is clear that appellant’s plea of guilty to the charge of aggravated assault in this cause was the result of a negotiated plea wherein the state nolle prossed two additional cases against defendant, each charging breaking and entering with intent to commit a felony and grand larceny. I agree with affirmance on authority of Estes v. State cited in main opinion.
