United States v. Chris L. Adkins

UNPUBLISHED UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT No. 99-4506 UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Plaintiff - Appellee, versus CHRIS L. ADKINS, Defendant - Appellant. Appeal from the United States District Court for the Eastern Dis- trict of Virginia, at Richmond. Robert E. Payne, District Judge. (CR-98-325) Submitted: February 15, 2000 Decided: March 17, 2000 Before WILKINS and LUTTIG, Circuit Judges, and BUTZNER, Senior Cir- cuit Judge. Affirmed by unpublished per curiam opinion. Charles A. Gavin, WHITE, BLACKBURN & CONTE, P.C., Richmond, Virgin- ia, for Appellant. Helen F. Fahey, United States Attorney, Stephen W. Miller, Assistant United States Attorney, Richmond, Virginia, for Appellee. Unpublished opinions are not binding precedent in this circuit. See Local Rule 36(c). PER CURIAM: Chris Adkins appeals the district court’s order denying his motion to withdraw his guilty plea. Adkins argues that the dis- trict court abused its discretion in refusing to allow him to with- draw his guilty plea and requests that the case be remanded to the district court for a trial by jury. We have reviewed the record and the district court’s opinion and find no reversible error. We conclude that the district court did not abuse its discretion in denying Adkins’ motion to withdraw. See Fed. R. Crim. P. 32(e); United States v. Moore, 931 F.2d 245, 248 (4th Cir. 1991). Accordingly, we affirm the district court’s order. We dis- pense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional process. AFFIRMED 2
