UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,

                      --------------------
          Appeal from the United States District Court
               for the Northern District of Texas
                     USDC No. 4:04-CR-168-3
                      --------------------

Before GARZA, DENNIS, and PRADO, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

     Appealing the Judgment in a Criminal Case, Simon Saldana

raises arguments that are foreclosed by the remedy opinion in

United States v. Booker, 543 U.S. 220 (2005), which effectively

converted the Sentencing Guidelines from a mandatory regime to an

advisory regime.   The Government’s motion for summary affirmance

is GRANTED, and the judgment of the district court is AFFIRMED.




     *
        Pursuant to 5TH CIR. R. 47.5, the court has determined
that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent
except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR.
R. 47.5.4.
