v.

ROBERTO ROSALES-GARCIA

                                            Defendant-Appellant


                 Appeal from the United States District Court
                      for the Southern District of Texas
                        USDC No. 5:06-CR-1015-ALL


Before DENNIS, CLEMENT, and PRADO, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
      Appealing the Judgment in a Criminal Case, Roberto Rosales-Garcia
raises arguments that are foreclosed by Almendarez-Torres v. United States, 523
U.S. 224, 235 (1998), which held that 8 U.S.C. § 1326(b)(2) is a penalty provision
and not a separate criminal offense. The appellant's motion for summary
disposition 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should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited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.
