Wallace Randolf Danner appeals from his conviction for possession of a firearm by a convicted felon. Danner contends that, at his Fed.R.Crim.P. 11 hearing, the district court erred by failing to inform him of the applicable minimum and maximum sentences to which he would be subject should he be classified as an armed career criminal. We affirm.

Because Danner did not assert a violation of Rule 11 in the district court, his claim is reviewed for plain error. 1 See United States v. Vonn, 535 U.S. 55, 60-63, 122 S.Ct. 1043, 152 L.Ed.2d 90 (2002) (applying plain error standard of review where defendant moved to withdraw guilty plea but did not assert Rule 11 error in the district court). Four conditions must be met before this court will notice plain error: (1) there was error; (2) the error was plain under current law; (3) the error affected substantial rights, typically meaning that the error affected the outcome of the proceedings; and (4) the error seriously affected the fairness, integrity, or public reputation of judicial proceedings. United States v. Olano, 507 U.S. 725, 732-37, 113 S.Ct. 1770, 123 L.Ed.2d 508 (1993).

Applying the plain error test, we hold that the district court erred and that the error was plain. See Fed.R.Crim.P. 11(b)(1)(H), (I) (requiring district court to inform defendant in open court about the applicable minimum and maximum sentences). However, we further find that the eiTor did not affect Danner’s substantial rights.

To establish that a district court’s noncompliance with Rule 11 had an effect on substantial rights, a defendant must show a reasonable probability that, but for the error, he would not have entered the plea. United States v. Dominquez Benitez, 542 U.S. 74, 124 S.Ct. 2333, 159 L.Ed.2d 157 (2004). Danner argues that he would not have pled guilty had he known that he could be sentenced as an armed career criminal. However, the record establishes that Danner was aware (from the plea agreement and the advice of his attorney) of the mandatory minimum and maximum sentences applicable to armed career criminals; he just believed that he was not an armed career criminal. The district court’s advice regarding armed career criminal penalties would not have changed Danner’s erroneous belief that Danner was not an armed career criminal and, hence, would not have affected his decision to *976 plead guilty. 2

Because Danner has not shown that, absent the court’s error, he would not have pled guilty, he has failed to show that the court’s plain error affected his substantial rights. Accordingly, we affirm. We dispense with oral argument because the facts and legal contentions are adequately presented in the materials before the court and argument would not aid the decisional process.

AFFIRMED
