   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  08-2756
   U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Iowa - Cedar Rapids   
   [PUBLISHED] [Riley, Author, with Smith and Colloton, Circuit Judges]
   Criminal Case - conviction. District court did not abuse its discretion
   in denying motion to withdraw guilty plea to possessing pseudoephedrine
   with intent to manufacture methamphetamine and possessing a firearm in
   furtherance of a drug trafficking crime, because defendant did not present
   fair and just reason to withdraw plea based on ineffective assistance of
   counsel. District court did not err in determining defendant was
   competent and his plea was entered knowingly and voluntarily. Because
   there was ample evidence to convict defendant of possessing a firearm in
   furtherance of a drug trafficking crime, the district court did not abuse
   its discretion in determining Watson v. United States did not provide a
   fair and just reason for withdrawal of guilty plea.
