as guidelines and the "[fl allure to adhere to the standards does not, in and

of itself, constitute ineffective assistance of counsel"). We disagree with

Armora's contention.

"A district court may, in its discretion, grant a defendant's

[presentence] motion to withdraw a guilty plea for any substantial reason

if it is fair and just." Woods v. State, 114 Nev. 468, 475, 958 P.2d 91, 95

(1998) (internal quotations omitted). At the hearing on his motion,

Armora's former counsel testified that although he was unable to accept

collect telephone calls from inmates, he did in fact meet several times with

Armora and thoroughly discussed the plea negotiations and agreement

with him prior to the entry of his plea. Based on the totality of the

circumstances, the district court determined that Armora "fail[ed] to

establish any substantial, fair, and just reason to withdraw [his] plea" or

prejudice, and that his plea was entered voluntarily, knowingly, and

intelligently. See Crawford v. State, 117 Nev. 718, 722, 30 P.3d 1123, 1125-26 (2001). We conclude that Armora failed to satisfy his burden and

prove that his plea was invalid, see Molina v. State, 120 Nev. 185, 190, 87 P.3d 533, 537 (2004), and the district court did not abuse its discretion by

denying his motion, Johnson v. State, 123 Nev. 139, 144, 159 P.3d 1096, 1098 (2007) ("This court will not reverse a district court's determination

SUPREME COURT OF NEVADA 2 (0) 1947A concerning the validity of a plea absent a clear abuse of discretion.").

Accordingly, we

ORDER the judgment of conviction AFFIRMED. 2
