Ex Parte Ronald Eugene Hollander, Jr. (in Re Ronald Eugene Hollander, Jr. v. State of Alabama)

Summary

The Supreme Court of Alabama quashed the petition for a writ of certiorari, effectively denying review of the lower courts' denial of the defendant's motion to withdraw his guilty plea. The Court noted that withdrawal of a guilty plea is within trial‑court discretion and is not disturbed absent abuse of discretion. A dissent argued that the defendant was entitled to withdraw his plea because of ineffective assistance of counsel.
