USDC No. 1:05-CR-14-ALL
--------------------
Before REAVLEY, GARZA, and BENAVIDES, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Appealing the Judgment in a Criminal Case, Jose Avelino
Luis-Rodriguez 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.
