PER CURIAM:* Derrick Taylor appeals his guilty-plea conviction for trafficking in counterfeit access devices affecting interstate commerce and aiding and abetting, in violation of 18 U.S.C. §§ 1029(a)(1) and 2. He argues that his guilty plea was rendered involuntary by the district court’s failure to inform him that his federal sentence would run consecutively to a state sentence. The district court was not obligated to advise Taylor that his federal sentence would run consecutively to a state sentence. * Pursuant to 5TH CIR.

Civ. P. 11 in accepting Taylor’s guilty plea and that Taylor’s plea was knowingly and voluntarily made. Boykin v. Alabama, 395 U.S. 238, 242 (1969). AFFIRMED.
