“[a] defendant has no absolute right to withdraw his plea of guilty.” Williams, 23 F.3d at 634. Instead, relying on Fed. R.Crim.P. 32(e), the Second Circuit stated that a defendant must show a “fair and just reason” for the withdrawal. The reason offered was that Williams had discovered, after pleading guilty, that he had a possible entrapment defense. The district court refused to accept that as grounds for permitting, as a matter of its discretion, the withdrawal of the guilty plea because the entrapment defense was foreclosed by the facts of the case. Id. at 635. The Second Circuit affirmed, holding that the district court had not abused its discretion in denying the defendant’s motion to withdraw his guilty plea. Id. Accord United States v. Mader, 251 F.3d 1099, 1104 (6th Cir.2001) (<HOLDING>). Neither Williams nor our recent holding in
holding criminal defendant does not have constitutional right to have guilty plea accepted by court holding that defendant was responsible for the delay from the withdrawal of his guilty plea holding that the defendant was entitled to have his plea accepted absent a sound reason for rejecting the plea holding that the defendant has the burden of proving a fair and just reason for withdrawal of a guilty plea holding that a criminal defendant must provide a fair and just reason to support withdrawal of his guilty plea even when that plea has not yet been accepted by the district court
