LARRY GOODALL,                                   MEMORANDUM*

              Defendant - Appellant.

                    Appeal from the United States District Court
                             for the District of Nevada
                      Philip M. Pro, District Judge, Presiding

                         Submitted September 10, 2012**
                               Las Vegas, Nevada

             The panel unanimously concludes this case is suitable for decision
without oral argument. See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a)(2).

               The Honorable Morris S. Arnold, Senior Circuit Judge for the Eighth
Circuit, sitting by designation.
for prostitution under 18 U.S.C. § 2421. The facts of this case are known to the

parties. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291, and we affirm.

       Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure 11(d)(2)(B), permits withdrawal if the

defendant “can show a fair and just reason” for his request. Fed. R. Crim. P.

11(d)(2)(B). “We review the denial of a motion to withdraw a plea for abuse of

discretion.” United States v. Mayweather, 634 F.3d 498, 504 (9th Cir. 2010).

      Goodall has not demonstrated a “fair and just reason” for withdrawal. There

is extensive evidence in the record demonstrating Goodall’s guilt, and Goodall

received a substantially shorter sentence than he would have had he been convicted

of the three other charges that the government dropped under the terms of the plea

agreement.

      AFFIRMED.
