(Filed 31 January 1973)

Criminal Law § 146 — appeal from guilty plea

Where defendant pled guilty to assaulting a public officer while the officer was attempting to discharge a duty of his office, the only question presented on appeal was whether error appeared on the face of the record proper. . ¡

*333ON Certiorari to review judgment' of Godwin, Judge, entered at the 12 June 1972 Session of Superior Court held in Ala-mance County.

Defendant was charged by warrant with assault on a public officer while such officer was attempting to discharge a duty of his office, a violation of G.S. 14-33. (c) (4). In the district court he was tried, convicted and sentenced. On appeal to superior court, he tendered a plea of guilty. Before accepting the plea, the trial judge questioned defendant and defendant signed and swore to a written transcript of the plea. Thereupon the trial judge entered an order making findings of fact as to the circumstances under which the plea was entered and adjudicating that defendant’s plea of guilty was freely, understanding^ and voluntarily made. From judgment imposing prison sentence of 12 months, defendant gave notice of appeal. This Court subsequently granted his petition for certiorari to perfect his appeal. Having been found to be indigent, defendant was represented in district court, in the superior court, and in this Court, by court-appointed counsel.

Affirmed.
