Re: set aside plea agreement
In California, your conviction isn't final until 60 days beyond the sentencing, assuming you haven't filed an appeal.
As for a motion to set aside a plea agreement, generally you have to show that you were denied a fundatmental right which prevented you from making a knowing and intelligent waiver of your rights.
I hope this answered your question.
