Summary

Nagelberg v. United States — Opinion of the Court

The Government now says that it consented to petitioner's motion to withdraw his plea because it 'planned to dismiss the pending indictment against petitioner and substitute lesser charges.' The Government admits that this purpose was not expressly stated and that 'it may be that the court was misled.' In these circumstances, we believe that the court has discretion to permit withdrawal of the plea.
