   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  10-3838
   U.S. District Court for the Western District of Arkansas - Texarkana   
   [PUBLISHED] [Loken, Author, with Beam and Murphy, Circuit Judges]
   Civil case - civil rights. The alleged coercion the defendant sheriff used
   to persuade plaintiff to plead guilty - representations regarding his
   sentence - did not render plaintiff's guilty plea involuntary, and the
   coercion did not violate any constitutional right; an official holding a
   criminal defendant in pretrial custody may reasonably assume that the trial
   court will properly determine whether a defendant is competent to stand
   trial or make a plea.
