UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,
Plaintiff-Appellee,
versus
OSCAR LUIS MARQUEZ-GOMEZ,
Defendant-Appellant.
--------------------
Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Western District of Texas
USDC No. P-02-CR-54-1
--------------------
Before HIGGINBOTHAM, DAVIS, and PICKERING, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Relying on Blakely v. Washington, 124 S. Ct. 2531 (2004),
Oscar Luis Marquez-Gomez argues that the district court erred by
imposing a sentence based on facts that were neither admitted nor
found by a jury beyond reasonable doubt. The Government has
moved for summary affirmance in lieu of filing an appellee’s
brief because the issue is foreclosed in this circuit under
United States v. Pineiro, No. 03-30437, 2004 WL 1543170, at *1
(5th Cir. July 12, 2004). The issue is indeed foreclosed. The
