2 court erred by (1) refusing to allow him to withdraw his guilty plea and (2) imposing special conditions of supervised release in the written judgment
that were not pronounce d at sentencing. We review t he denial of a motion to withdraw a guilty plea for abuse of
discretion. United States v. Carr , 740 F.2d 339, 3 44 (5th Cir. 1984). Seven factors are considered: (1) whether the defendant asserted innocence; (2) whether withdrawal of the plea would prejudice the Government; (3) whether the defendant delayed in filing his withdrawal motion; (4) whether granting with drawal would substantially inconvenience the court; (5) whether close assistance of counsel was available to the defendant; (6) whether the plea was knowing and voluntary; and (7) whether granting withdrawal would waste judicial resources. Id. at 343

- 44. The district court found that each of these factors weighed against Smith, and he has identified no error in the court’s

reason s for doing so . We accordingly find no abuse of discretion. See id. at 344. That Smith disagrees with the Carr framework does not alter this result, although we note that our affirmance i s without prejudice to his right to raise a claim of ineffective assistance of counsel in a subsequent collateral proceeding. See United States v. Isgar , 739 F.3d 829, 841 (5th Cir. 2014).
Wit h respect to Smith’s second claim, the Government has invoked his appeal waiver. This court enforces appeal waivers that are knowing and voluntary and that, by their plain language, apply to the circumstances at
hand. United States v. Bond , 414 F.3d 542, 544 (5th Cir. 2005). U pon review of the record and the plea agreement, we conclude that both conditions are met
here. See United States v. Higgins, 739 F.3d 733, 737 (5th Cir. 2014) (holding that a challenge alleging that a written judgment conflicts with the trial court’s oral sentencing pronouncement is encompassed by a sentence appeal waiver).
