The question raised was answered by this court contrary to defendant\u2019s contention in the case of State v. Harris, 12 N.C. App. 576, 183 S.E. 2d 864 (1971), in an opinion by Chief Judge Mallard. No worthwhile purpose would be served by repeating the reasoning and authorities set forth in that opinion.\nThe judgment appealed from is\nAffirmed.\nJudges Parker and Hedrick concur.",

CROCKER\nNo. 7214SC323\n(Filed 24 May 1972)\nCriminal Law \u00a7 23 \u2014 guilty plea \u2014 failure to advise defendant of possible fine\nWhere the court informed defendant of the maximum sentence of imprisonment he could receive on his plea of guilty, failure of the court to advise defendant that he could also be fined up to $2,000 did not render the plea of guilty invalid.\nAppeal by defendant from McKinnon, Judge, 4 October 1971 Session of Durham Superior Court.\nDefendant was charged in a bill of indictment with (1) possessing heroin and (2) transporting heroin. Through his privately employed counsel he tendered a plea of guilty to the charges. After due inquiry regarding the plea, the court found facts and determined that the plea of guilty was freely, understanding^ and voluntarily made, without undue influence, compulsion, or duress, and without any promise of leniency. After hearing evidence presented by the State and defendant, the court entered judgment that defendant be imprisoned for a term of two years. Thereafter defendant gave notice of appeal and following a finding that defendant was then indigent, his trial counsel was appointed to represent him on appeal.\nAttorney General Robert Morgan by Donald A. Davis, Staff Attorney, for the State.\nKenneth B. Spaulding for defendant appellant."
