We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291, and we affirm. Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure 11(d)(2)(B), permits withdrawal if the defendant “can show a fair and just reason” for his request. Fed. R. Crim. P. 11(d)(2)(B). “We review the denial of a motion to withdraw a plea for abuse of discretion.” United States v. Mayweather, 634 F.3d 498, 504 (9th Cir. 2010). Goodall has not demonstrated a “fair and just reason” for withdrawal.

AFFIRMED. 2
