UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,
Plaintiff-Appellee,
versus
JAIME GONZALEZ-MORALES,
True Name, Jaime Gonzalez,
Defendant-Appellant.
Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Western District of Texas
(3:04-CR-2551-ALL)
Before BARKSDALE, STEWART, and CLEMENT, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Jaime Gonzalez-Morales appeals his guilty-plea conviction for
transporting illegal aliens. For the first time on appeal, he
claims the factual basis for his guilty plea was insufficient
because it failed to state he was aware of the status of the aliens
he was transporting. Pursuant to our plain error standard of
review, he fails to show the requisite “clear” or “obvious” error
because he has not shown it was clear or obvious the factual basis
was insufficient to demonstrate that he committed the charged
