151534P.pdf   07/14/2016  United States  v.  Enrique Trevino
   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  15-1534
   U.S. District Court for the Western District of Missouri - Jefferson City   
[PUBLISHED] [Loken, Author, with Riley, Chief Judge, and Benton, Circuit Judge] Criminal case - Criminal law and sentencing. The district court did not err in denying defendant's motion to withdraw his guilty plea which was based on a claim of ineffective assistance of counsel when such a claim was expressly contradicted by defendant's statements at the change-of-plea hearing; nor was the court obligated to hold an evidentiary hearing on the issue when defendant's motion failed to put forth a fair and just reason to withdraw the plea, failed to plead any specific facts supporting a claim of ineffective assistance and was directly contradicted by his statements in open court; the court did not err in denying defendant's motion for appointment of new counsel; the court did not improperly coerce defendant into withdrawing his objections to the PSR's drug quantity findings and did not err in adopting the PSR's drug quantity calculation.
