*Chief Justice Gray dissents. A separate opinion will not issue. He notes, however, that he believes the certificate of the right to appeal that indicates that the defendant waived the right to appeal is not supported by the record. He would direct the trial court to correct the certificate of the right to appeal to reflect that the defendant did not waive the right to appeal adverse decisions on pretrial motions, as part of the plea bargain agreement and because the internal inconsistency in the admonition and plea papers should yield in favor of preserving the right to appeal if it is not clearly and unambiguously waived. Because the majority dism isses these appeals Chief Justice Gray respectfully dissents.
