Begay, 42 F.3d 486, 498 (9th Cir.1994). 2. The district court reasonably disbelieved defendants’ explanations about why they pled guilty, United States v. Snider, 976 F.2d 1249, 1251 (9th Cir.1992) (“Questions of credibility are for the district court.”), and therefore did not abuse its discretion in denying their motions to withdraw. 3.
