UNITED STATES of America, Plaintiff-Appellee, v. Santiago OSUNA-CHINO, Defendant-Appellant, 548 F. App'x 396

MEMORANDUM Santiago Osuna-Chino appeals from the district court’s judgment and challenges his guilty-plea conviction for being a removed alien found in the United States, in violation of 8 U.S.C. § 1326. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291, and we affirm. On appeal, Osuna-Chino contends for the first time that his conviction should be vacated because the district court failed to comply with Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure 11(b)(1)(

E) when it failed to inform him expressly that he had a right to testify and that, by pleading guilty, he would be giving up that right. We review for plain error, see United States v. Dominguez Benitez, 542 U.S. 74, 76, 124 S.Ct. 2333, 159 L.Ed.2d 157 (2004), and find none. The district court advised Osuna-Chino that he had “the right to put on a defense.” Even if this was not sufficient to comply with the rule, given the strength of the government’s case and the substantial benefit Osuna-Chino obtained by pleading guilty, he cannot demonstrate that the error affected his substantial rights.

See id. at 83, 124 S.Ct. 2333 (to prevail on plain error review, a defendant “must show a reasonable probability that, but for the error, he would not have entered the plea”). AFFIRMED. This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by 9th Cir. R. 36-3.
