United States v. Hyde
Holding used
Acceptance of a guilty plea is distinct from agreement acceptance, and deferral of the agreement does not permit free withdrawal of an accepted plea.
Material limitation
The current withdrawal provisions are in Rule 11(d); agreement rejection and a fair-and-just reason remain separate grounds.
