   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  13-3769
   U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Arkansas - Little Rock   
   [PUBLISHED] [Colloton, Author, with Wollman and Benton, Circuit Judges] 
   Criminal case - Criminal law. District court's action in relieving 
   defendant's counsel of his appointment after the court imposed sentence on 
   defendant did not prejudice defendant; an argument that defendant meant to 
   move to withdraw his plea by his comments, in which he complained about 
   counsel's handling of the case and asserted his innocence, and was 
   prejudiced because an attorney would have better formulated the request, 
   is rejected as Fed. R. Crim. P. 11(3) forbids the withdrawal of a plea 
   after sentence is imposed; while the district court did not provide 
   defendant the information required under Rule 11(b)(1)(M), defendant has 
   failed to show that absent this error he would have proceeded to trial, 
   and the error was harmless; while the district court did not technically 
   comply with Rule 32(i)(1)(A)'s requirement that the court verify that 
   defendant had read and discussed the presentence report with counsel, the 
   error did not affect any substantial right.
