dissenting.
I respectfully dissent. A fixed plea agreement is one that specifies the exact terms of the sentence to be imposed. See Allen v. State, 865 N.E.2d 686, 688 (Ind.Ct.App.2007). Specifically, the original plea agreement provided in part as follows:
2. The State will recommend the following sentence:
A term of imprisonment of 3 years suspended, except for the following: 180 days
A term of probation 2½ year(s), with the normal and usual terms of probation
(Appellant’s App. p. 17). Thus, it is clear from the record that St. Clair pled guilty to a fixed term plea agreement that set *1217forth a specific sentence recommendation. The trial court accepted the plea agreement and followed its terms. At the sentencing hearing, St. Clair waived all claims that could be raised on direct appeal. The trial court properly denied his motion to bring a belated appeal and, therefore, I would affirm the decision of the trial court.
