IN THE UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FIFTH CIRCUIT No. 00-20064 Summary Calendar UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Plaintiff-Appellee, versus JOSE AGUIRRE-GALLEGOS, also known as Celso Gallegos, also known as Jose Aguirre-Gallego, Defendant-Appellant. -------------------- Appeal from the United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas USDC No. H-99-CR-477-1 -------------------- March 13, 2001 Before DAVIS, JONES and DeMOSS, Circuit Judges. PER CURIAM:* Jose Aguirre-Gallegos (“Aguirre”) appeals his guilty-plea conviction of unlawful reentry into the United States following a prior deportation in violation of 8 U.S.C. § 1326(a) and (b). For the first time on appeal, Aguirre contends that the district court failed to comply with FED. R. CRIM. P. 11(c)(1) at his rearraignment when it failed to advise him about the Sentencing Guidelines’ impact on his sentence. Although it is true that the district court failed to comply with this aspect of * 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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR.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. 00-20064 -2- Rule 11(c)(1), any error was harmless because the court did inform Aguirre of the statutory maximum prison term, and there is no allegation by Aguirre or indication in the record that the court’s failure to mention the Guidelines affected Aguirre’s willingness of plead guilty. See Rule 11(h); United States v. Johnson, 1 F.3d 296, 298, 302 (5th Cir. 1993) (en banc). The judgment of the district court is AFFIRMED.
