Before BROWN, CARAWAY and DREW, JJ.


BROWN, Chief Judge.

Defendant, Willie Ford, pled guilty to one count of attempted first degree murder, and the trial court sentenced him to serve 45 years at hard labor. The defendant now appeals, asserting that his guilty plea is invalid because the trial court's Boykinization was inadequate and that his sentence is unconstitutionally excessive. For the reasons set forth below, defendant's conviction and sentence are affirmed.
