No basis exists for us to hold that the trial court exceeded its permitted range of discretion in denying defendant's motion to withdraw his plea. We therefore affirm the trial court's denial of that motion. Chief Justice Howe, Associate Chief Justice Russon, Justice Durham, and Justice Durrant concur in Justice Wilkins' opinion. This court may also assess attorney fees against the offending lawyer when a brief does not comply with rule 24. See Utah R. App.
Defendant misunderstands how to properly challenge the trial court's findings of fact.
To successfully challenge a trial court's findings, an appellant must first marshal all the evidence that supports the trial court's findings. After marshaling the supportive evidence, the appellant then must show that, even when viewing the evidence in a light most favorable to the trial court's ruling , the evidence is insufficient to support the trial court's findings. See Utah Med. We apply this deferential standard to trial courts because they are in an advantaged position to evaluate the evidence and determine the facts.
