plead

No, i would not consider it correct. But you know, you never provide us with complete sentences--it's hard to answer these questions without the full context.

Used with "with", "for", "to be" etc:

Make an emotional appeal: "she pleaded with them not to gag the boy"; "he pleaded for mercy"; "we plead to be released"

Used alone:

Present and argue for (a position), especially in court or in another public context: "the idea that in public relations work someone is paid to plead a special case is disliked"

Address a court as an advocate on behalf of a party: "the Constitution prohibits a retired Supreme Court judge from pleading before any court"

State formally in court whether one is guilty or not guilty of the offence with which one is charged: "the youth pleaded guilty to murdering the girl"

Invoke (a reason or a point of law) as an accusation or defence: "on trial for attempted murder, she pleaded self-defence"

Offer or present as an excuse for doing or not doing something: "he pleaded family commitments as a reason for not attending"

Argue, state, present, put forward: "his accomplice pleaded ignorance"

Excellent answers. Thank you.
