See Local Rule 36(c).
PER CURIAM:

     Jermeer Marshall pled guilty pursuant to a written plea

agreement to one count of possession with intent to distribute not

more than fifty grams of crack cocaine, in violation of 21 U.S.C.

§ 841(a) (2000). Marshall was sentenced to 262 months imprisonment.

He appeals the district court’s denial of his motion to withdraw

his guilty plea.   We affirm.

     We review the denial of a motion to withdraw a guilty plea for

abuse of discretion.   United States v. Ubakanma, 215 F.3d 421, 424

(4th Cir. 2000). Marshall must present a “fair and just” reason for

withdrawing his guilty plea. Fed. R. Crim. P. 32(e); United States

v. Moore, 931 F.2d 245, 248 (4th Cir. 1991).   Based on the factors

set forth in Moore, we find the district court did not abuse its

discretion in denying the motion to withdraw his guilty plea.

Accordingly, we affirm Marshall’s conviction. We dispense with oral

argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately

presented in the materials before the court and argument would not

aid the decisional process.
