How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• stating that a defendant is not entitled to withdraw his guilty plea simply because he did not anticipate the contents of the Pre-sentence Investigation Report
• noting that “[n]o defendant has an absolute right to withdraw a guilty plea” and that the utility of plea agreements would be undermined by allowing a defendant to renege based on his “reevaluation of his trial prospects”
• rejecting argument that a defendant “should be able to take back his guilty plea if, after learning what evidence the government had available for trial, [the defendant] takes the position that the government's evidence against him is false”
