Before HIGGINBOTHAM, CLEMENT, and ELROD, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
        Appealing the judgment in a criminal case, Joseph William Matteson
presents arguments that are foreclosed by United States v. Whaley, 577 F.3d
254, 261-62 & n.6 (5th Cir. 2009), which held that proof of knowledge of the
registration requirements of the Sex Offender Registration and Notification Act
is not required for a conviction under 18 U.S.C. § 2250(a). See also United States
v. Heth, 596 F.3d 255, 258-60 & n.3 (5th Cir. 2010). The Government’s motion
for summary affirmance is GRANTED, its alternative motion for an extension

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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not
be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR.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