Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Western District of Texas
USDC No. 1:04-CR-79-1
--------------------
Before SMITH, CLEMENT, and PRADO, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Appealing the Judgment in a Criminal Case, Gilberto Munoz-
de la Cruz 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.
§ 1326(b)(2) and not a separate criminal offense. The
Government’s motion for summary affirmance is GRANTED, and the
judgment of the district court is AFFIRMED.
