Decided May 18, 1983.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Frank J. Kelley, Attorney General, Louis J. Caruso, Solicitor General, William L. Cahalan, Prosecuting Attorney, Edward Reilly Wilson, Deputy Chief, Civil and Appeals, and William T. Morris, Assistant Prosecuting Attorney, for the people.

Gerald S. Surowiec, for defendant on appeal.

Before: R.M. MAHER, P.J., and BEASLEY and P.J. MARUTIAK, JJ.


PER CURIAM.

Defendant pled guilty to violation of his probation and was sentenced to 10 to 20 years in prison. He appeals as of right.

Defendant's sole contention on appeal is that the trial court erred by failing to inform him, prior to acceptance of his plea, that he had the right to a contested hearing as an alternative to pleading guilty. Various panels of this Court have disagreed on the validity of this argument. Compare People v Darrell,
