PER CURIAM.
In this direct criminal appeal, Adrian Carillo-Guzman seeks to withdraw his
guilty plea to a drug conspiracy charge, arguing the district court did not inquire
expressly whether he understood the Spanish translation of his change-of-plea
proceeding. Given Carillo-Guzman's answers to the questions contained in his petition
to plead guilty and posed at the change-of-plea hearing, as well as the availability of
a Spanish interpreter before the hearing and the presence of two interpreters at the
hearing, we are confidant Carillo-Guzman understood the proceeding. See United
States v. Martinez-Cruz, 186 F.3d 1102, 1104-05 (8th Cir. 1999).
Accordingly, we affirm.
A true copy.
