Description
SCHROEDER, Circuit Judge Appellant Ramon Rios-Ortiz pleaded guilty and was convicted of assaulting a border patrol officer. Following the plea, but before final sentencing, he moved to withdraw the plea pursuant to Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure 32(d), stating that he had changed his mind and wished to go to trial on a theory of self-defense. The district court denied the motion and Rios-Ortiz appeals. Under Rule 32(d) of the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure, the court may permit the presentence withdrawal of a guilty plea upon a showing by the defendant of ""any fair and just reason.""1 The issue presented on appeal is whether the district court abused its discretion in denying the defendant's motion to withdraw his guilty plea.
