The following excerpt is from Holt v. Estelle, 967 F.2d 586 (9th Cir. 1992):
Before entering the plea, Holt signed a standard waiver form listing all of his constitutional rights. In open court, the trial judge again reminded him of the significance of his waiver. "Boykin does not require the state court to enumerate all of the rights a defendant waives as long as the record indicates that the plea was entered voluntarily and understandingly." Rodriguez v. Ricketts, 798 F.2d 1250, 1254 (9th Cir.1986) (citations omitted). Accordingly, we find that the trial judge's failure specifically to advise Holt of his right against self-incrimination did not render the plea agreement unconstitutional.
