   MEMORANDUM

Mendez-Reyes claims that his December 3, 2009 group-plea hearing violated Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure 11 and his Fifth Amendment right to due process. The record patently demonstrates that Mendez-Reyes was sufficiently advised of his rights, that he affirmed his understanding of such rights, and that he expressly waived such rights by pleading guilty. As we have held, any Rule 11 violations from this hearing were harmless, and the hearing did not violate due process. See United States v. EscamillaRojas, 640 F.3d 1055 (9th Cir.2011).

AFFIRMED.
