Unpublished Disposition, 869 F.2d 1499 (9th Cir. 1989)

MEMORANDUM^** 

Appellant Leroy B. Thompson pled guilty to two counts of armed bank robbery in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 2113(a) and (d). He filed this habeas corpus petition claiming that his guilty plea lacked a proper factual basis and that his indictment failed to establish federal jurisdiction because it did not charge a violation of 18 U.S.C. § 2113(f). We find that neither contention has merit and we affirm the district court's denial of his petition.

ANALYSIS

Thompson claims that his guilty plea was invalid because the factual basis for the plea did not include any evidence that the bank he robbed was federally insured. The record does not support Thompson's claim. The indictment charging him contained an allegation of federal insurance. That indictment was read to Thompson and he stated on the record that he understood it and was guilty of the charges against him. That was sufficient to establish a factual basis. Thompson makes no claim that the statement should be discredited for any reason.

Thompson also contends that federal jurisdiction over his case did not exist because his indictment did not charge a violation of 18 U.S.C. § 2113(f). That section defines "bank" for purposes of the bank robbery statute as, among other things, a bank that is federally insured. Thompson's claim is frivolous. His indictment alleged that he had robbed a federally insured bank. That was sufficient. Moreover, when Thompson entered a guilty plea, he admitted all of the factual allegations contained in the indictment. United States v. Matthews, 833 F.2d 161, 163 (9th Cir. 1987).

For the foregoing reasons, the district court's denial of Thompson's habeas petition is hereby AFFIRMED.
