Rafael Rolon-Ramos appeals from his guilty-plea conviction for being a

Rolon-Ramos contends his guilty plea is invalid because the district court
did not properly advise him at the Rule 11 hearing regarding the Sentencing
Guidelines and the 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a) factors. The record does not reflect that
the district court erred. Moreover, any alleged error did not affect his substantial
rights because Rolon-Ramos has failed to show “a reasonable probability that, but
for the error, he would not have entered the plea.” United States v. Dominguez
Benitez, 542 U.S. 74, 83 (2004).
AFFIRMED.
