STATE OF MICHIGAN COURT OF APPEALS PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF MICHIGAN, UNPUBLISHED October 2, 1998 Plaintiff-Appellee, v KEITH ALLEN WHISNANT, No. 196865 Macomb Circuit Court LC No. 96-000825 FH Defendant-Appellant. Before: Hood, P.J., and Griffin and O’Connell, JJ. MEMORANDUM. Defendant appeals as of right his guilty-plea based conviction for attempted uttering and publishing, MCL 750.249; MSA 28.446, and MCL 750.92(2); MSA 28.287(2). We affirm. On April 27, 1995, a warrant was issued for defendant’s arrest on an uttering and publishing charge. Defendant was not arrested on the warrant until February 26, 1996. After defendant pleaded guilty, he moved to withdraw the plea on grounds of a violation of his right to speedy trial, violation of the 180-day rule, MCL 780.131; MSA 28.969(1), and violation of the Interstate Agreement on Detainers, MCL 780.601; MSA 4.147(1). Defendant was incarcerated in Ohio from January 2, 1995 to November 1, 1995. The trial court gave defendant the option to withdraw his guilty plea, but defendant elected to proceed with sentencing. An unconditional guilty plea waives any violation of the 180-day rule, as well as any speedy trial claim. People v Bordash, 208 Mich App 1; 527 NW2d 17 (1994). Defendant reserved no conditions in entering his guilty plea. His speedy trial and 180-day rule claims are waived. Affirmed. /s/ Harold Hood /s/ Richard Allen Griffin /s/ Peter D. O’Connell
