We consider a process KLe5(KL→π0π0π±e∓ν) as a standard model background to the experiment KL→π0μ±e∓, which seeks for possible violation of lepton family number. Using the lowest order chiral lagrangian, we find that the branching ratio for KL→π0π0π±e∓ν to be 6.2×10−12. A similar decay KL→π∓π∓π±e±ν has a branching ratio, 1.7×10−11.
