Appeal from the District Court of Barnes County, Southeast Judicial District, the Honorable Jay A. Schmitz, Judge.
Tonya Duffy, State's Attorney, Valley City, N.D., for plaintiff and appellee; submitted on brief.
Richard E. Edinger, Fargo, N.D., for defendant and appellant; submitted on brief.
Per Curiam.
[¶1] Justin Hatcher appeals from a criminal judgment and an order denying his motion to withdraw guilty pleas. Hatcher argues the district court abused its discretion in concluding he failed to establish a fair and just reason why he should be allowed to withdraw his guilty pleas. We summarily affirm under N.D.R.App.P. 35.1(a)(4), concluding the district court did not abuse its discretion in denying his motion to withdraw guilty pleas.
