Opinion:
PER CURIAM:
Larry Charles Gipson appeals his guilty-plea convictions for bank robbery, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 2113(a). He argues, for the first time on appeal, that the district court failed to comply with the requirements of Fed.R.Crim.P. 11 at rearraignment. The argument is reviewed for plain error. United States v. Vonn, 535 U.S. 55, 59, 122 S.Ct. 1043, 152 L.Ed.2d 90 (2002). To demonstrate plain error, Gipson must show clear or obvious error that affects his substantial rights; if he does, this court has discretion to correct a forfeited error that seriously affects the fairness, integrity, or public reputation of judicial proceedings. United States v. Olano, 507 U.S. 725, 732, 113 S.Ct. 1770, 123 L.Ed.2d 508 (1993). This court will find that a "substantial right" has been violated if "the defendant's knowledge and comprehension of the full and correct information would have been likely to affect his willingness to plead guilty." United States v. Johnson, 1 F.3d 296, 298 (5th Cir.1993) (en banc).
Although Gipson asserts that the Rule 11 errors by the district court affected his substantial rights, he simultaneously asks for "a new plea hearing." Because Gipson states that he still wishes to plead guilty despite the inadequate Rule 11 colloquy, he has not shown any effect on his substantial rights. See id.; see also United States v. Vasquez-Bernal, 197 F.3d 169, 171 (5th Cir.1999). His conviction is therefore AFFIRMED. The Government's motion to supplement the record is DENIED, and Gipson's cross-motion to seal the psychiatric evaluation is similarly DENIED.
Pursuant to 5th Cir. R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5th Cir. R. 47.5.4.
