Supreme Court of Virginia.

September 11, 1981.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Andrew H. Wortzel, Michael H. Sussman, Alexandria (Fagelson, Schonberger, Billowitz & Duvall, Alexandria, on brief), for appellant.

Jerry P. Slonaker, Asst. Atty. Gen. (Marshall Coleman, Atty. Gen., on brief), for appellee.

Before CARRICO, C. J., and HARRISON, COCHRAN, POFF, COMPTON, THOMPSON and STEPHENSON, JJ.


COMPTON, Justice.

He alleges he was denied effective assistance of counsel and, as a result, his plea was involuntary. We reject the prisoner's challenge because the allegations and proof in support of his plea for habeas relief are contrary to the representations he made at the time of his trial when his guilty plea was accepted.
