Before BROWNING, KLEINFELD, and THOMAS; Circuit Judges.
Stephen Lewis claims that because he disputed whether he grabbed the teller, his guilty plea to 18 U.S.C. § 2113(a) bank robbery violates F.R.C.P. 11 and amounts to ineffective assistance of counsel. We review de novo, United States v. Alber, 56 F.3d 1106, 1109 (9th Cir1995), United States v. Roberts, 5 F.3d 365, 370 (9th Cir. 1993).
Lewis agreed at the plea hearing that he jumped over the counter and demanded, "Give me all the money." This satisfies the force, violence or intimidation element of § 2113(a). United States v. Hopkins, 703 F.2d 1102, 1103 (9th Cir. 1983). Undisputed facts supported the plea, meeting Rule 11(f), Alber, 56 F.3d at 1110, and precluding the prejudicial probability of conviction of a lesser offense, Hill v. Lockhart, 474 U.S. 52, 59 (1985), United States v. Swanson, 943 F.2d 1070, 1072 (9th Cir. 1991) (assistance claim directly reviewable on clear record).
