1Opinion of the CourtCrain, J.
12Pursuant to a plea agreement, the defendant, Jordan Cheatham, pled guilty to possession with intent to distribute marijuana. See La. R.S. 40:966A(1). Prior to sentencing, he filed a motion to withdraw his guilty plea, which was denied. He was sentenced to ten years imprisonment at hard labor, with three years suspended, and three years of supervised probation with conditions upon his release from incarceration. The defendant appeals, arguing the trial court erred in denying his motion to withdraw the guilty plea. We affirm.
