704 S.E.2d 406 (2011)

William Donald BOTTOMS v. COMMONWEALTH of Virginia.

Supreme Court of Virginia.

January 13, 2011.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Horace F. Hunter (Hunter & Lipton, on briefs), Richmond, for appellant.

Leah A. Darron , Senior Assistant Attorney General ( Kenneth T. Cuccinelli II , Attorney General, on brief), for appellee.

Present: All the Justices.

Opinion by Justice LAWRENCE L. KOONTZ, JR.

In this appeal, we consider whether the circuit court erred in failing to permit William D. Bottoms to withdraw a guilty plea to two counts of construction fraud.1 Bottoms contends that the court abused its discretion by applying an incorrect standard to determine whether he should be permitted to withdraw his plea pursuant to Code § 19.2-296.
