CYR, Circuit Judge.

After Jose R. Lopez Pineda ("Lopez") was convicted and sentenced on one count of possessing cocaine with intent to distribute, see 21 U.S.C. § 841(a)(1), he initiated the instant appeal seeking to set aside his guilty plea based on defects in the change-of-plea colloquy conducted by the district court. We affirm the judgment of conviction and sentence.
