U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 12-3415
U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota - St. Paul
[PUBLISHED] [Bye, Author, with Loken and Bright, Circuit Judges]
Criminal case - Criminal case. Defendant was told that assignment to a
particular program was not guaranteed, and his alleged misunderstanding
about the program was not grounds for withdrawing his guilty plea; there
was a factual basis for the plea; no other factors justified withdrawal of
the plea, and the district court did not err in denying the motion to
withdraw the plea; claim of ineffective assistance of counsel was properly
denied. Judge Bright, dissenting on the ground that the fact that court
might reject defendant's assignment to the program was not fully explained
to him.
