BURKE, Justice,
dissenting, with whom MATTHEWS, Justice, joins.
I respectfully dissent.
Even if we construe the categories mentioned in Criminal Rule 32(d)(1) as not exclusive, I disagree with the majority’s conclusion that reversal is required. Where as here, “the facts presented to the court do not fall within one of the listed categories, ... there must be some showing that a manifest (i. e., obvious, directly observable, overt or not obscure) injustice will occur if the defendant is not permitted to withdraw his plea.” State v. Taylor, 521 P.2d 699, 701-02 (Wash.1974). In my judgment, there has been no showing of any genuine injustice in the instant case, manifest or otherwise.
