Federal 7th Circuit Court
Criminal Court
Guilty Plea
In prosecution on cocaine distribution charge, Dist. Ct. did not err in denying defendant’s motion to withdraw his guilty plea to said charge, where: (1) defendant swore in affidavit attached to said motion that he had been under medication during his plea colloquy, and that he had insufficient time to discuss case with counsel; and (2) said statements directly conflicted with his sworn testimony during his guilty plea hearing. Dist. Ct. could also deny defendant’s request for reduction in offense level based on his acceptance of responsibility, where defendant made two failed attempts to withdraw his guilty plea.
