UNITED STATES of America, Plaintiff-Appellee, v. Joel SOCORRO, Defendant-Appellant.
    No. 10-13665
    Non-Argument Calendar.
    United States Court of Appeals, Eleventh Circuit.
    Nov. 23, 2011.
    Anne R. Schultz, Wifredo A. Ferrer, U.S. Attorney, Christopher Párente, U.S. Attorney’s Office, Miami, FL, for Plaintiff-Appellee.
    Richard Docobo, Attorney at Law, Miami, FL, Joel Socorro, Ray Brook, NY, for Defendant-Appellant.
    Before TJOFLAT, CARNES and WILSON, Circuit Judges.
   PER CURIAM:

Joel Socorro appeals his conviction on a plea of guilty for carrying a firearm during a crime of violence, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 924(c)(1). Socorro claims that his conviction is invalid because he was denied his constitutional right to a speedy trial: he was not arraigned until thirteen years following the return of his indictment. Socorro did not move the district court to dismiss his indictment on that speedy trial ground; moreover, his plea of guilty operated as a waiver of all nonjuris-dictional defects in the criminal proceeding, including a violation of the right to a speedy trial. United States v. Yunis, 723 F.2d 795, 796 (11th Cir.1984). Socorro’s conviction is, accordingly, AFFIRMED. 
      
      . The crime of violence was an attempt to rob a shipment of properly in the possession of the United Parcel Service on June 11, 1996, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 1951(a).
