Before Stewart, Graves, and Oldham, Circuit Judges.

No. 25-50063

We review for plain error. See United States v. Vonn, 535 U.S. 55, 59 (2002). In light of the entire record, Adams fails to show clear or obvious error. See United States v. Trejo, 610 F.3d 308, 313 (5th Cir. 2010) (factual basis); United States v. Cuevas-Andrade, 232 F.3d 440, 444 (5th Cir. 2000) (nature of the charges).

The judgment of the district court is AFFIRMED.
