Toney Houston challenges his convictions of conspiring to make false and fictitious oral and written statements in connection with the acquisition of firearms, and aiding, abetting, and inducing another to make false statements in connection with acquisition of a firearm. He does not challenge his conviction of being a felon in possession of a firearm.

Athough the indictment is plainly erroneous because it fails to charge the “intended or likely to deceive” element of 18 U.S.C. § 922(a)(6), the error did not seriously affect the fairness, integrity, or public reputation of judicial proceedings. The evidence that the false statements were “intended or likely to deceive” was overwhelming and uncontroverted, and the jury was instructed before and at the end of trial that the government was required to prove that element beyond a reasonable doubt; the instruction largely mitigated the eiTor. See United States v. Cotton, 535 U.S. 625, 632-34, 122 S.Ct. 1781, 152 L.Ed.2d 860 (2002); United States v. McGilberry, 480 F.3d 326, 330-31 (5th Cir. 2007).

AFFIRMED.
