                                 No. 17-40018

intent to distribute more than 50 grams of methamphetamine, in violation of
21 U.S.C. § 841(a)(1) and (b)(1)(A) and 21 U.S.C. § 846. She asserts that the
factual basis for her guilty plea was inadequate because the government failed
to meet its obligation to prove that she had knowledge of the quantity of actual
methamphetamine involved in her offense.

      As Armstrong concedes, her argument is foreclosed by United States
v. Betancourt, 586 F.3d 303, 308−09 (5th Cir. 2009), which held that Flores-
Figueroa v. United States, 556 U.S. 646 (2009), did not overturn United States
v. Gamez-Gonzalez, 319 F.3d 695 (5th Cir. 2003), and that the government is
not required to prove knowledge of drug type and quantity as an element of a
§ 841 drug offense.    Accordingly, the motion for summary disposition is
GRANTED, and the judgment is AFFIRMED.
