Question Presented (from Petition)

I. Whether it is harmless error when a guilty plea is obtained in violation of due process of law when a judgment of conviction is entered without providing a defendant with adequate notice of the offenses to which he's pleading guilty to; thereby rendering his plea involuntary, and afterwards the district court denies a timely request to withdraw the illegal plea.
