                                 No. 20210137

Per Curiam.

[¶1] Justin Hatcher appeals from a criminal judgment and an order denying
his motion to withdraw guilty pleas. Hatcher argues the district court abused
its discretion in concluding he failed to establish a fair and just reason why he
should be allowed to withdraw his guilty pleas. We summarily affirm under
N.D.R.App.P. 35.1(a)(4), concluding the district court did not abuse its
discretion in denying his motion to withdraw guilty pleas.
