Bruce D. PIERCE, Appellant, v. UNITED STATES, Appellee.

District of Columbia Court of Appeals.

Decided December 30, 1997.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Frances M. D'Antuono, appointed by this court, for appellant.

James G. Flood, Assistant United States Attorney, with whom Eric H. Holder, Jr., United States Attorney, and John R. Fisher, Roy W. McLeese, III, and June M. Jefferies, Assistant United States Attorneys, were on the brief, for appellee.

Before WAGNER, Chief Judge, and TERRY, Associate Judge, and BELSON, Senior Judge.


BELSON, Senior Judge:

Appellant contends that the trial court conducted an inadequate inquiry prior to accepting appellant's pleas of guilty to second degree murder and another contemporaneous offense, and that the court subsequently abused its discretion when it declined to conclude that it would have been fair and just to permit appellant to withdraw his guilty plea. We disagree with appellant's contentions, and affirm.

I.
