Appeal from the United States District Court

September 24, 1997
Before REAVLEY, KING and DAVIS, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Marcus Harris appeals from the district court’s denial of
his request to withdraw his guilty plea. Harris argues that his
guilty plea was not knowing and voluntary because he did not
understand that his unconditional guilty plea would waive his
right to appeal his claim pursuant to the Speedy Trial Act.
Harris further argues that the district court abused its
discretion when it denied his motion to withdraw his guilty plea.
*
Pursuant to 5TH CIR. R. 47.5, the court has determined
that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent
except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR.
R. 47.5.4.
No. 97-10085
-2-
We have reviewed the record and find no reversible error.
The district court complied with the dictates of Fed. R. Crim.
P. 11(c) and informed Harris that he was waiving his right to a
speedy and public trial by pleading guilty. United States v.
Johnson, 1 F.3d 296, 298 (5th Cir. 1993) (en banc). The district
court did not abuse its discretion in denying the motion to
withdraw his guilty plea. United States v. Bond, 87 F.3d 695,
701 (5th Cir. 1996). The judgment of the district court is
AFFIRMED.
AFFIRMED.
