           Appeal from the United States District Court
                for the Southern District of Texas
                      USDC No. M-03-CR-359-1
                       --------------------

Before HIGGINBOTHAM, DAVIS, and PICKERING, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

     Appealing the Judgment in a Criminal Case, Edgar Alberto

Garcia Ramirez concedes that the arguments raised are foreclosed

by circuit precedent but seeks to preserve them for further

review.   The Government has moved for summary affirmance in lieu

of filing an appellee’s brief.   The motion 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that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent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.
