There is no constitutional requirement that defendants must always be informed of their right to appeal following a guilty plea. . . . However, it has been held that extraordinary circumstances might establish that the omission of advice actually denied a defendant due process of law.' *Page 85”

State, 495 So. 2d 739, 741 (Ala.Cr.App.1986).”
