Also, the fact that the court ordered a psychological evaluation for mitigation in sentencing does not establish that the appellant had mental health issues that prevented his plea from being knowingly, intelligently, and voluntarily made, where the record of the proceeding lacks any evidence that appellant suffered from a mental condition.
