Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Southern District of Texas
(H-01-CR-587-ALL)
_________________________________________________________________
Before KING, Chief Judge, and HIGGINBOTHAM and BARKSDALE, Circuit
Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Iraj Mahmoudi appeals his convictions for unlawful procurement
of citizenship, 18 U.S.C. § 1425(b), and making a false statement
to a federal agency, 18 U.S.C. § 1001. He contends: the evidence
was insufficient to convict him of either charge; 8 C.F.R. §
316.10, which defines a term in § 1425(b), violates the separation-
of-powers doctrine; and the district court erred by denying his
motion to suppress evidence seized from his apartment.

Having heard oral argument and reviewed the briefs and
pertinent parts of the record, we conclude there was no error. The
judgment is
AFFIRMED.
