California Court of Appeal

Conviction for drug crimes is affirmed where trial court did not err in not requiring defendant's appointed counsel to make a motion to withdraw defendant's guilty plea as counsel is not required to make legally unsupported motions, and the court is not required to order counsel to make such motions.
