Before SMITH, EMILIO M. GARZA, and PARKER, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

Leonard Neal Jackson appeals from his conviction by guilty

plea of bribery of a public official. Jackson contends that the

district court erred by denying his motion to withdraw his guilty

plea.

We have reviewed the record and the briefs of the parties

and we find that the district court did not abuse its discretion

by denying Jackson’s motion to withdraw his plea. United States

v. Carr,

(5th Cir. 1984). Accordingly, we

affirm Jackson’s conviction.
