Michael Christopher Cummings, Milton, pro se. James S. Purdy, Public Defender, and Robert Jackson Pearce, III, Assistant Public Defender, Daytona Beach, for Appellant. Ashley Moody, Attorney General, Tallahassee, and Deborah A. Chance, Assistant Attorney General, Daytona Beach, for Appellee. PER CURIAM. AFFIRMED. WALLIS and TRAVER, JJ., concur. EDWARDS, J., concurs specially with opinion. Case No. 5D20-85 EDWARDS, J., specially concurring. I fully concur in affirming. Appellant’s claims that his guilty plea was involuntary, forced upon him, or was the product of him not fully understanding the proceedings and what he faced in terms of sentencing are absolutely without any merit, given the thorough plea colloquy conducted by the trial court and Appellant’s responses to all areas of the trial court’s questions. 2
