UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,
Plaintiff-Appellee,
versus
BRIJIDO SERVIN-MENDEZ, also known

Defendant-Appellant.

Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Southern District of Texas
USDC No. B-01-CR-159-1
--------------------
February 20, 2003
Before WIENER, EMILIO M. GARZA, and CLEMENT, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Brijido Servin-Mendez appeals his guilty-plea conviction for
illegally reentering the United States after deportation. He
argues for the first time on appeal that, despite his consent to
proceed before the magistrate judge, the magistrate judge lacked
jurisdiction to entertain his guilty plea.

Servin-Mendez’ argument is foreclosed by this court’s
decision in United States v. Bolivar-Munoz, 313 F.3d 253, 257
(5th Cir. 2002). Accordingly, his conviction is AFFIRMED.
