## Opinion text

Goodman, J.
(concurring in result). I agree with the result because the trial judge, after taking the guilty pleas and prior to sentencing, made known to counsel for the defendants his relationship to the bank; he indicated that he would disqualify himself from sentencing the defendants if requested to do so. Defendants’ counsel, though thus informed, did not protest the trial judge’s having taken the guilty pleas and indicated that he did not want the judge to disqualify himself.
