Defendant-Appellant.

Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Western District of Texas
USDC No. SA-96-CA-323
- - - - - - - - - -
February 19, 1998
Before KING, HIGGINBOTHAM, and DAVIS, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Reginald Ervin MacKall appeals his conviction of
distribution of cocaine base in a school zone. He contends
solely that his guilty plea is invalid because the district court
violated Fed. R. Crim. P. 11(c)(1). MacKall avers that his plea
is invalid because the district court failed to inform him fully
of the nature of the charge and failed to advise him of the
maximum statutory term of imprisonment and mandatory minimum term
of supervised release. The district court's error was harmless
*
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that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent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.
inasmuch as the aggregate maximum term of imprisonment and
supervised release did not exceed the statutory maximum that was
actually explained to MacKall. See United States v. Pierce, 5
F.3d 791, 793-94 (5th Cir. 1993).
AFFIRMED.
