"We review a district court's denial of a motion to withdraw a guilty plea for abuse of discretion and any findings of fact in connection with that decision for clear error." United States v. Juncal, 245 F.3d 166, 170-71 (2d Cir. 2001) (citation omitted). Applying these standards, we conclude that the district court did not exceed the bounds of its discretion in denying Lam's motion.
