UNITED STATES of America, Plaintiff-Appellee,
v.
Dagoberto BONILLA, Defendant-Appellant.
No. 92-50561.
United States Court of Appeals, Ninth Circuit.
Submitted May 4, 1993.*
Decided June 9, 1993.
Before: KOZINSKI, SUHRHEINRICH** and T.G. NELSON, Circuit Judges.
MEMORANDUM***
Bonilla's "substantial rights" were not affected by the erroneous information he received at the plea hearing because the sentence he received was less than the maximum of which he was advised. Thus, any error was harmless. See Fed.R.Crim.P. 11(h); Rodriguera v. United States, 954 F.2d 1465, 1468-69 (9th Cir.1992); United States v. Sanclemente-Bejarano, 861 F.2d 206, 210 (9th Cir.1988).
Nothing in the record indicates that the district court misunderstood its discretionary authority to depart downward. Thus, its refusal to depart from the Sentencing Guidelines is not reviewable on appeal. United States v. Morales, 972 F.2d 1007, 1011 (9th Cir.1992), cert. denied, 113 S.Ct. 1665 (1993).
AFFIRMED.
The panel unanimously finds this case suitable for decision without oral argument. Fed.R.App.P. 34(a); Ninth Circuit Rule 34-4
