United States Ninth Circuit

Defendant's conviction for failure to register as a sex offender is affirmed, where the District Court properly denied Defendant's motion to withdraw his guilty plea, where a development in non-binding authority such as a district court decision in another circuit is not a change in the law warranting such a motion.
