Syllabus

The appellate court did not have authority to review appellant's jointly recommended and agreed upon sentence of five to seven-and-one-half years in prison following his guilty plea to five counts of second-degree felony trafficking in drugs and two counts of third-degree felony trafficking in drugs, nor did appellant receive ineffective assistance of counsel when his trial counsel failed to negotiate a lesser sentence for appellant when considering appellant's trial counsel successfully negotiated a plea offer that significantly limited appellant's exposure had he decided to take the matter to trial.
