United States v. Corey Lemar Wright
Opinion
Corey Wright, a federal prisoner, appeals pro se the denial of his motion to set aside his plea of guilty to possessing with intent to distribute a controlled substance. See 21 U.S.C. § 841(a)(1). Wright filed his motion more than two years after his time to appeal expired. We affirm.
The district court lacked jurisdiction to set aside Wright’s plea of guilty. Wright argued that the record did not contain a sufficient factual basis to support his plea of guilty, but the district court could not disturb Wright’s conviction. “After the court imposes sentence, ... the plea may be set aside only on direct appeal or collateral attack.” Fed.R.Crim.P. 11(e).
We AFFIRM the denial of Wright’s untimely motion to set aside his plea of guilty.
