Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Eastern District of Louisana

December 11, 2001
Before HIGGINBOTHAM, BARKSDALE, and STEWART, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Francisco Rene Flores appeals his guilty plea conviction for
illegally reentering into the United States following deportation
after the commission of an aggravated felony. Flores contends
that his guilty plea should be vacated because the district court
violated Fed. R. Crim. P. 11(c)(3) by omitting the word “jury”
when admonishing Flores of his right to a trial.
We have reviewed the record and the briefs submitted by the
parties and hold that, because the district court’s omission did
not affect Flores’ substantial rights, the 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that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent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.
