Description
The sole question raised by this case is whether the district court committed an abuse of discretion in refusing to grant a motion by Kalico Kaldwell (Kaldwell) to withdraw his plea of nolo contendere. The motion was made prior to the imposition of sentence pursuant to WYO.R.CRIM.P. 32(d). Our examination of the record discloses no abuse of discretion by the trial court. We hold that the trial court properly applied the standard articulated in the rule and correctly concluded Kaldwell had failed to demonstrate any fair and just reason for the withdrawal of his plea. Even had a fair and just reason been presented, no abuse of discretion will be found if the requirements of WYO.R.CRIM.P. 11 were satisfied and the plea was intentionally, knowingly, and voluntarily entered. The Judgment and Sentence of the Court is affirmed.
