APPEAL FROM THE JEFFERSON CIRCUIT COURT The Honorable Ted R. Todd, Judge Cause No. 39C01-0707-FA-123

February 13, 2009 MEMORANDUM DECISION - NOT FOR PUBLICATION

MAY, Judge

William J. Melton agreed to plead guilty to dealing in cocaine and conspiracy to deal in cocaine, both Class A felonies.1 On the day of the sentencing hearing, Melton asked the trial court to set aside his plea. The trial court declined to do so and sentenced Melton in accordance with the plea agreement. Melton raises two issues, which we consolidate and restate as: whether the trial court abused its discretion by denying his motion to withdraw his guilty plea under Ind. Code
