P. v. Farnsworth
Mark Farnsworth pled no contest to conspiracy to bring controlled substance into state prison. The plea agreement states, "I understand that I have the right to appeal any adverse decision and I give up that right." He subsequently moved to withdraw the plea, and the trial court denied the motion. Farnsworth contends: (1) there was an insufficient factual basis for the plea; (2) his attorney mislead him and denied him effective assistance of counsel; therefore, he did not freely and voluntarily enter into the plea; (3) the court erred in denying his motion for a further continuance to subpoena his former attorney; (4) he is entitled to appeal sentencing issues which were not foreseeable when he signed the plea agreement; (5) he is entitled to work credits, and this court should order the trial court to amend the abstract of judgment accordingly. Affirmed.
