MultiRegion, United States of America
The following excerpt is from U.S. v. Rogers, 984 F.2d 314 (9th Cir. 1993):
5 We have held, however, that where the court fails to mention the possibility of restitution, but does mention the possibility of a fine, and the amount of restitution ordered is less than the warned-of fine, the Rule 11 violation is harmless. See United States v. Pomazi, 851 F.2d 244, 248 (9th Cir.1988).
