   MEMORANDUM

Lorenzo Hernandez-Olivares pled guilty to being an illegal alien found in the United States following deportation, in violation of 8 U.S.C. § 1326. He contends that the district court violated Fed.R.Crim.P. 11 by failing to advise him of his right to persist in his plea of not guilty. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291, and we affirm the district court.

If a defendant raises a Rule 11 error for the first time on appeal, the defendant may obtain reversal only by showing that there was plain error and the error affected his substantial rights. United States v. Jimenez-Dominguez, 296 F.3d 863, 866-67 (9th Cir.2002), cert. denied, — U.S.-•, 123 S.Ct. 984, 154 L.Ed.2d 905 (2003).

Because the district court informed Hernandez-Olivares of the rights associated with his right to go to trial (including his right to a speedy and public trial, his right to call witnesses, his right against self-incrimination, his right to subpoena witnesses, and his right to counsel) the district court’s failure to specifically indicate that he had the right to persist in his plea of not guilty is not reversible under the plain error standard because, even assuming that there was plain error, the defendant has not demonstrated that the error affected his substantial rights. United States v. Morales-Robles, 309 F.3d 609, 610 (9th Cir.2002) (per curiam).

AFFIRMED.
