Cook Co., 5th Div.

Affirmed.
Justice: 
McBRIDE
Defendant delayed nearly ten years from entry of guilty plea to seek to withdraw plea because lenient sentence does not comport with statutory guidelines requiring 25-year firearm enhancements. Defendant received benefit of bargain as to sentence but has not set forth legally sufficient basis to rescind agreement, and Defendant's unreasonable delay precludes him from rescission of plea agreement. (GORDON and PALMER, concurring.)
