weapon without an agreed recommendation from the State on sentencing. In trial

appeal.

On March 8, 2016, appellant’s appointed counsel filed motions to dismiss

the appeals, in which he stated that Turner made the decision to dismiss his appeals

freely and voluntarily and with full understanding of the consequences. The
