Carley (Elizabeth) v. State ( 2015 )

  •                   clear showing of an abuse of discretion."     Riker v. State, 
    111 Nev. 1316
    ,
    1322, 
    905 P.2d 706
    , 710 (1995) (internal quotation marks omitted).
    Appellant contends that she was coerced into the plea because
    her counsel told her that she would lose if she went to trial and her
    codefendant's counsel informed her that he would blame the offenses on
    her if she went to trial. The district court conducted an evidentiary
    hearing, noted that appellant had denied any coercion during the plea
    canvass, and found that her claim of coercion was belied by the record and
    her plea was entered knowingly and voluntarily. The written plea
    agreement and transcripts of the plea canvass and evidentiary hearing
    support the district court's finding that appellant's plea was voluntary.
    See 
    Crawford, 117 Nev. at 722
    , 30 P.3d at 1126 ("A thorough plea canvass
    coupled with a detailed, consistent, written plea agreement supports a
    finding that the defendant entered the plea voluntarily, knowingly, and
    intelligently."). Thus, we conclude that the district court did not abuse its
    discretion by denying appellant's motion to withdraw her guilty plea.
    Accordingly, we
    ORDER the judgment of conviction AFFIRMED.
