COLLOTON, Circuit Judge.

       Roger White Owl pleaded guilty to one count of abusive sexual contact. At
sentencing, White Owl moved to withdraw his guilty plea on the ground that he had
not fully understood some of its consequences. The district court1 denied the request

      1
        The Honorable Daniel L. Hovland, Chief Judge, United States District Court
for the District of North Dakota.
without an evidentiary hearing and sentenced White Owl to time served. White Owl
appeals, and we affirm.

       A grand jury charged White Owl with abusive sexual contact committed in
Indian country. See 18 U.S.C. §§ 2244(b), 1153. On the day before trial, White Owl
agreed to plead guilty pursuant to a written agreement. The plea agreement stated
that White Owl would be ordered to “make restitution for all loss caused by [his]
conduct,” and provided that the government would “[r]ecommend that [White Owl]
be ordered to pay restitution (if any) to the victim in this case.” The agreement also
stated that White Owl “must register as a sexual offender and keep such registration
current.” The district court accepted White Owl’s plea, and the case proceeded to
sentencing.

      At the sentencing hearing, White Owl requested to withdraw his guilty plea.
White Owl said that after he entered his plea, a probation officer told him that the
conviction would require him to register as a sex offender, to pay restitution, and to
attend a sex offender treatment program. White Owl objected to participating in a
treatment program that would require him to admit sexual contact with the victim, and
he worried that failure in treatment would result in more punishment. White Owl
claimed that he did not touch the victim, and pleaded guilty only to avoid jail time.
White Owl also asserted that he had raised these concerns with his attorney
immediately after speaking with the probation officer, but the attorney “wasn’t able
to do what was needed to be done” due to medical problems.

       The district court concluded that White Owl had not presented a “fair and just
reason” for withdrawal and that his request was untimely. Taking White Owl’s
concerns into account, however, the court sentenced him to time served and did not
order him to pay restitution or participate in a sex offender treatment program. White
Owl contends on appeal that the district court should have held an evidentiary hearing
on his request to withdraw the guilty plea. We need not resolve whether White Owl

                                         -2-
waived his right to appeal this point, because even if the claim is not barred by
agreement, he is not entitled to relief.

       A defendant may withdraw a guilty plea after it has been accepted by the court,
but before the court imposes sentence, if he shows “a fair and just reason for
requesting the withdrawal.” Fed. R. Crim. P. 11(d)(2)(B). A court need not convene
an evidentiary hearing if there are no material issues of fact to resolve. See United
States v. Alvarado, 

, 920 (8th Cir. 2010).

      White Owl contends that he provided “enough specific facts” to warrant an
evidentiary hearing, but we conclude that none of White Owl’s proffered grounds
would constitute a fair and just reason to withdraw his guilty plea. The information
that White Owl claimed to learn belatedly from a probation officer was disclosed to
him in the plea agreement, so there is nothing new that would justify withdrawing the
plea.

       White Owl claimed that after pleading guilty, he learned from a probation
officer that he would have to register as a sex offender, pay restitution, and attend a
sex offender treatment program. The registration requirement and the possibility of
restitution, however, were expressly mentioned in White Owl’s plea agreement. A
paragraph of the agreement, emphasized by its own heading, discussed White Owl’s
future obligations under the Sex Offender Registration and Notification Act. White
Owl also “acknowledge[d] and agree[d]” that the district court would order him to
make restitution for any losses that he had caused. The agreement further stated that
the government would recommend that White Owl pay any applicable restitution. At
his change of plea hearing, White Owl twice confirmed to the district court that he
read the plea agreement before signing it. He also said that he had discussed the
agreement with his attorney. Because White Owl was specifically informed of the
registration and restitution consequences of his conviction, the probation officer’s



                                         -3-
reiteration of these points is not a fair and just reason to withdraw his plea. See
United States v. Teeter, 

, 771 (8th Cir. 2009).

        White Owl also had fair notice that participating in sex offender treatment
could be a condition of his supervised release. The plea agreement stated that the
government would recommend five years of supervised release. The agreement also
noted that the district court would be required to take into account the United States
Sentencing Commission Guidelines Manual. The Guidelines Manual, in turn,
recommends participation in a treatment program as a special condition of supervised
release for defendants convicted of sex offenses. See USSG § 5D1.3(d)(7)(A). So
while the possibility of sex offender treatment was not expressly stated in the plea
agreement, White Owl knew that he would be subject to supervised release and that
the sentencing guidelines would apply to his case. Given the notice to White Owl in
the plea agreement about supervised release and the sentencing guidelines, his alleged
surprise about a condition of supervised release recommended by the guidelines is not
a fair and just reason to withdraw his plea. Cf. United States v. Davis, 

,
1090-91 (8th Cir. 2009).

       White Owl’s desire to avoid sex offender treatment was not a fair and just
ground for withdrawing his plea for another reason: the district court did not order
such treatment. White Owl premised his request to withdraw the plea on the theory
that his purported inability to succeed in a sex offender treatment program would lead
to future punishment. But the district court accounted for that worry by declining to
order any sex offender treatment. Just before ruling on White Owl’s request to
withdraw the plea, the court explained that it had “not imposed any special conditions
of supervised release that Mr. White Owl was concerned about.” White Owl’s
apprehension about sex offender treatment was therefore no reason to withdraw his
guilty plea.




                                         -4-
       On appeal, White Owl attempts to recast his confusion about the consequences
of pleading guilty as an allegation that his attorney was “ineffective for failing to
advise him” of those consequences. We decline to address that claim at this juncture.
The record in this case is not sufficiently developed to address alleged deficient
performance by counsel, and deferring the issue to a collateral proceeding under 28
U.S.C. § 2255 would not result in a miscarriage of justice. See United States v.
Ramirez-Hernandez, 

, 827 (8th Cir. 2006). White Owl never offered
attorney performance as a ground for withdrawing his guilty plea (he cited counsel’s
health only as an excuse for the timing of his request), so a remand for an evidentiary
hearing is not warranted.

      The judgment of the district court is affirmed.
