PER CURIAM.
We affirm the summary denial of Appellantโs timely motion
for postconviction relief on the claim that his plea resulted from
overweening and fraudulent religious influence of a roommate in
the jail, and was therefore not freely, voluntarily, knowingly, and
intelligently entered.
ROBERTS, OSTERHAUS, and JAY, JJ., concur.
