PEOPLE v. CHAMBERS

PER CURIAM.

On July 2, 1968, the defendant, Robert Allen Chambers, pleaded guilty to the offense of larceny from a person. Defendant was fully informed of his right to a trial by judge or jury, to the maximum sentence he could receive, and to his right to an attorney at a trial at which the prosecution would have to prove his guilt beyond a reasonable doubt and at which defendant would not have to take the stand.

On appeal defendant contends that his rights were violated in that prior to a witness's identification of the defendant, she overheard a conversation between police officers concerning the defendant's possible involvement in other crimes and that defendant was forced into an illegal confrontation with the complaining witness.

A defendant who enters a voluntary plea of guilty while represented by competent counsel waives all nonjurisdictional defects in prior stages of the proceedings. People v. Collins (1968), 380 Mich. 131; People v. Catterson (1967), 5 Mich. App. 488; People v. Dobine (1963), 371 Mich. 593; Crockett v. Haskins, Superintendent (CA 6, 1966), 372 F.2d 475.

In the instant case the plea was properly taken in accordance with GCR 1963, 785.3.

Affirmed.
