Before JONES, DeMOSS, and PARKER, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Leticia Martinez appeals from her conviction and sentence
following her guilty plea to one count of bank fraud in violation
of 18 U.S.C. § 1344. She argues that her guilty plea was not
knowing and voluntary, that she received ineffective assistance
of counsel because her attorney advised her that she would
probably receive probation if she pleaded guilty, and that the
district court erred by refusing to grant her a reduction for

acceptance of responsibility. We have reviewed the record and
find no reversible error. Martinez's guilty plea was knowingly
and voluntarily entered. See United States v. Johnson, 1 F.3d
296, 298 (5th Cir. 1993) (en banc). Martinez has not
demonstrated a reasonable probability that, but for the alleged
statement by her attorney regarding her probable sentence, she
would not have pleaded guilty and would have insisted upon going
to trial. See Hill v. Lockhart, 474 U.S. 52, 57-58 (1985).
Finally, the district court did not clearly err by denying her a
reduction for acceptance of responsibility. See United States v.
Wilder, 15 F.3d 1292, 1298 (5th Cir. 1994). Accordingly, the
judgment of the district court is AFFIRMED.
AFFIRMED.
