*74 MEMORANDUM **
Wayne Dean Fletcher appeals pro se the 120-month sentence imposed following his guilty plea conviction to one count of bank robbery in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 2118 (a), armed bank robbery in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 2113 (a) and (d) and use of a firearm during a crime of violence in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 924 (c)(l)(A)(ii).

We conclude that they lack merit because the record reveals that Fletcher knowingly and voluntarily entered into a valid guilty plea which complied with the requirements of Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure 11. See United States v. Timbana, 222 F.3d 688, 701-02 (9th Cir.), cert. denied, 531 U.S. 1028 , 121 S.Ct. 604 , 148 L.Ed.2d 516 (2000).
