Description
On the morning of his trial, Victor Manuel Vale decided to plead guilty under a plea agreement to one count of attempted possession with intent to distribute in excess of 500 grams of cocaine in violation of 21 U.S.C. çç 841(a)(1), 846 (1994). The district court conducted a thorough Fed. R. Civ. P. 11 colloquy and determined that Vale knowingly and voluntarily pled guilty to the crime. The court carefully reviewed the contents of the plea agreement with Vale. Three months later at his sentencing hearing, Vale moved to withdraw his guilty plea, alleging that he had been coerced into pleading guilty because the Government threatened to reindict him and the mother of his daughter if he did not plead guilty. The district court denied his motion and sentenced him. Vale alleges on appeal that the district court erred by denying his motion without conducting an evidentiary hearing. The Government moved to dismiss the appeal. We deny the motion to dismiss and affirm the district courts denial of Vales motion to withdraw his guilty plea.
