¶32State v. Ortiz
¶33No. 20160221
¶35Per Curiam.
¶36[¶1] Peter Ortiz appealed the district court’s judgment, which denied his request to withdraw his guilty plea. Ortiz argues the district court abused its discretion in concluding he failed to establish a fair and just reason to warrant the withdrawal of his guilty plea. Because the district court did not abuse its discretion in denying Ortiz’s request, we affirm under N.D.R.App.P. 35.1(a)(4).
