Wallace“The court may not accept a plea of guilty without first, by addressing the defendant personally [except as provided in Rule 43(b)] in open court, informing the defendant of and determining that the defendant understands the following: (A) the right to plead not guilty, or having already so pleaded, to persist in that plea; (B) the right to a jury trial; (C) the right to be represented by counsel at trial and at every other stage of the proceeding and, if necessary, the right to have the counsel provided under Rule 44; (D) the right at trial to confront and cross-examine adverse witnesses, to be protected from compelled self-incrimination, to testify and present evidence, and to compel the attendance of witnesses; (E) the defendant’s waiver of these trial rights if the court accepts a plea of guilty; (F) the nature of each charge to which the defendant is pleading; (G) any maximum possible penalty, including imprisonment, fine, and mandatory fee; (H) any mandatory minimum penalty; and (I) the court’s authority to order restitution.”
1 later decision quote this exact passagee.g. State v. Vandehoven““Under N.D.R.Crim.P. 32(d), the standard for a district court’s consideration of a defendant’s request to withdraw a guilty plea differs depending on when the motion to withdraw is made.” State v. Lium, 2008 ND 33, ¶ 17 , 744 N.W.2d 775 . Before the court accepts the guilty plea, the defendant may withdraw the plea at any time. After a plea has been accepted but before sentencing, the defendant may withdraw a guilty plea if it is necessary to correct a manifest injustice or, at the court’s discretion, for any “fair and just” reason unless the prosecution has been prejudiced by relying on the plea. After a court accepts a guilty plea and imposes a sentence, the defendant cannot withdraw the plea unless the motion is timely and withdrawal is necessary to correct a manifest injustice.”
