UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS
For the Fifth Circuit
No. 97-41086
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,
Plaintiff-Appellee,
VERSUS
JASON BAICE,
Defendant-Appellant.
Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Eastern District of Texas
(1:97-CR-16-1)
April 20, 1999
Before GARWOOD, DAVIS and BARKSDALE, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
The only issue presented in this case is whether the district
court committed reversible error in failing to advise the defendant
that the firearm count to which he pled guilty carried a mandatory
minimum sentence of sixty months. The district court informed the
defendant that this count carried a possible sentence of sixty
months and that the related, more serious, carjacking count
*
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this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except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.
carried a maximum sentence of 240 months. The district court
informed the defendant that on both counts he faced a maximum
possible sentence of imprisonment of 300 months plus an additional
sixty months supervised release. The district court then imposed
a total sentence of 211 months, 151 months on the carjacking count
and sixty months on the weapons offense plus a sixty-month
supervised release term.
We conclude from our review of the record as a whole that the
court’s failure to advise of the mandatory minimum sentence of
sixty months on the weapons offense did not influence the
defendant’s decision to enter his guilty plea. Because the court
did not commit reversible error, the sentence is affirmed.
AFFIRMED.
