v. Zanello, 109 Or. 562, 220 P. 155, 158 (1923)); accord Miles v. McCallan, 1 Ariz. 491, 3 P. 610, 611 (Ariz.Terr.1884) (“A finding of fact is a determination of a fact by the court, which fact is averred by one party and denied by the other, and this determination must be founded on the evidence in the case.”); cf. Mikel v. State, 528 S.W.2d 796, 798 (Mo.Ct.App.1975) (a “finding of fact is ... a statement by the court as to what facts the court finds to be true which in turn leads the court to form conclusi Minn. 381, 230 N.W. 257, 258 (1930) (“There is what purports to be one finding of fact, that ‘the evidence fails to establish the cause of action set out in the complaint herein.’ That is no finding of fact, but a mere legal conclusion irom the facts.”); Mikel, 528 S.W.2d at 798 (<HOLDING>). The court simply dismissed Angel’s petition
holding that where trial court is trier of fact and has made an affirmative deadly weapon finding it retains discretion to enter finding in judgment holding trial court failed to make a finding of fact but rather made a finding of the ultimate question of law  that the defendants plea was not knowingly and intelligently made holding that the defendants guilty plea was entered into knowingly voluntarily and intelligently holding that in order for a waiver of counsel to be valid the trial court must ensure that the defendants waiver of his right to counsel is done knowingly and intelligently so that the record establishes that the defendants choice is made with eyes open holding new trial was warranted where trial court did not make adequate determination pursuant to nc gen stat  15a1242 whether defendants decision to proceed pro se was knowingly intelligently and voluntarily made
