Question Presented (OCR Extract)

QUESTION PRESENTED FOR REVIEW Whether the decision of the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit (“Fifth Circuit”)-which affirmed the District Court’s denial of Mr. Faizal’s motion to withdraw his guilty plea without an evidentiary hearing-conflicts with the decisions of this Court on an important matter, and therefore the decision by the Fifth Circuit calls for an exercise of this Court’s supervisory powers such that a compelling reason is presented in support of discretionary review by this Honorable Court.
