Javion Carlos Pope appeals from a judgment of conviction, entered pursuant to a guilty plea, of two counts of robbery with the use of a deadly weapon, attempted robbery with the use of a deadly weapon, and discharging a weapon where a person may be endangered.

ORDER the judgment of conviction AFFIRMED.
