Decided April 30, 1971

Michigan Court of Appeals · decided 1971-04-30

Applies MI 750 § 750.321

Decided 1971-04-30

Per Curiam.

¶1The defendant pled guilty to a reduced charge of manslaughter, MCLA § 750.321 (Stat Ann 1954 Rev § 28.553). He was sentenced to a term of 14-1/2 to 15 years in prison.

¶2On appeal he claims, inter alia, that the trial court should have informed him of the elements of the crime before accepting his plea. The people move to affirm the conviction.

¶3An explanation of the elements of the crime is not required. People v. Morgan (1970), 28 Mich App 594. The trial court made an unusually thorough and extensive examination of the defendant before accepting his plea, and there was no error.

¶4The questions sought to be reviewed are so unsubstantial as to require no argument or formal submission.

¶5Motion to affirm is granted.
