Heading: Timing of Motion to Withdraw

Text: Fitzmorris pleaded guilty on January 29, 2007, but did not move to withdraw his pleas until May 30, 2007, on the eve of sentencing. The district court did not abuse its discretion in finding that -6- Nos. 08-4140/09-3207 United States v. Fitzmorris this four-month delay weighed against granting Fitzmorris’s motion. Indeed, this Court has found delays less than four months to be excessive. See, e.g., United States v. Cinnamon, 112 F. App’x 415, 418 (6th Cir. 2004) (three months); United States v. Baez, 87 F.3d 805, 808 (6th Cir. 1996) (sixty-seven days); United States v. Goldberg, 862 F.2d 101, 104 (6th Cir. 1988) (fifty-five days).
