Syllabus

Anders appeal. Defendant pled guilty to possession of marijuana (20,000 grams or more, but less than 40,000 grams) and received an agreed five-year sentence. Defendant's arguments that errors were committed and/or that he was denied the effective assistance of counsel were unrelated to the knowing, voluntary, and intelligent nature of his plea and were therefore waived by his subsequent guilty plea. Defendant's written plea agreement and the discussion of his potential sentence at the hearing do not support his assertion that he was entitled to be sentenced to a felony of the third degree rather than the felony of the second degree with which he was charged. Defendant has no arguable claim of ineffective assistance of counsel based on actions that are not reflected in the record. No non-frivolous issues exist. Judgment affirmed.
