Before REAVLEY, GARZA, and BENAVIDES, Circuit Judges.

Appealing the Judgment in a Criminal Case, David Arias-
Setina raises arguments that are foreclosed by Almendarez-Torres
v. United States, 523 U.S. 224, 235 (1998), which held that a
prior conviction is a sentencing factor under 8 U.S.C.

Government’s motion for summary affirmance is GRANTED, and the
judgment of the district court is AFFIRMED.
