    STATE OF NORTH CAROLINA v. IVERY ALFONZO VANDERBURG
    No. 7122SC666
    (Filed 15 December 1971)
    Criminal Law § 23 — guilty pleas — voluntariness — affirmative showing in record
    Defendant is entitled to have his pleas of guilty vacated and to replead to the charges against him where the record fails to show affirmatively that defendant was aware of the consequences of his pleas and that his pleas were voluntarily and understandingly entered.
    Appeal by defendant from Crissman, Judge, 21 May 1971 Criminal Session of Iredell Superior Court.
    The defendant, Ivery Alfonzo Vanderburg, was charged with resisting arrest, assault upon an officer and disorderly conduct and entered a plea of guilty at his trial in district court on 4 March 1971. Defendant was not represented by counsel either at the trial in district court or on appeal to Iredell Superior Court. In superior court defendant again entered a plea of guilty to the charges and was sentenced to six months in jail for resisting arrest and six months for assault on an officer and disorderly conduct under a consolidated judgment. From the judgment entered by the superior court, defendant appealed.

   MORRIS, Judge.

The failure of the record to show affirmatively that defendant was aware of the consequences of his pleas of guilty and to show affirmatively that his pleas were voluntarily and understanding^ entered entitles the defendant to have his pleas of guilty vacated and entitles him to replead to the charges. State v. Harris, 10 N.C. App. 553, 180 S.E. 2d 29 (1971). We find in the record no transcript of plea signed by the defendant nor any adjudication entered by the trial judge indicating that defendant freely, understandingly and voluntarily made the pleas. We must, therefore, order that defendant’s pleas of guilty be stricken and the matter remanded so that defendant may re-plead.

Discussion of defendant’s other assignments of error is not necessary.

New trial.

Judges Campbell and Parker concur.
