Criminal Procedure — plea withdrawal

Eric VanDynHoven appeals judgments convicting him of burglary, false imprisonment and eleven misdemeanors. He also appeals an order denying his motion to withdraw his no-contest pleas. He contends the plea colloquy was defective because the court failed to ascertain his understanding of the terms of the plea agreement and failed to inform him it was not bound by the plea agreement. He also contends his trial counsel, Brian Bennett, was ineffective for failing to ensure VanDynHoven’s understanding of the plea agreement. We reject these arguments and affirm the judgments and order. This opinion will not be published.
