California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Adams, B249268 (Cal. App. 2014):
A denial of a motion to withdraw a plea will not be disturbed on appeal absent a showing of an abuse of discretion. (People v. Hunt (1985) 174 Cal.App.3d 95, 103.) "Guilty pleas resulting from a bargain should not be set aside lightly and finality of proceedings should be encouraged." (Ibid.)
