FERREN, Associate Judge,
with whom MACK, Senior Judge, joins, concurring:
I join in the opinion for the court but wish to emphasize that we find no plain error. Although Judge Farrell’s analysis under D.C.Code § 22-503 (1989 Repl.) may have merit, we are not adopting that analysis today. Accordingly, we are not foreclosing an argument against transferred intent in nonfatal assault cases under the Maryland Court of Appeals’ analysis in Ford v. State, 330 Md. 682, 625 A.2d 984 (1993). See Howard v. United States, 656 A.2d 1106, 1112 & nn. 3-5 (1995).
