                   Appeal from the United States District Court
                        for the Western District of Texas
                             USDC No. 2:13-CR-387-1


Before DAVIS, JONES, and HIGGINSON, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM: *
       Appealing the judgment in a criminal case, Jose Chavez-Perez raises
arguments that are foreclosed by United States v. Teran-Salas, 767 F.3d 453,
458-62 (5th Cir. 2014), cert. denied, 135 S. Ct. 1892 (2015). In Teran-Salas, we
determined that the appellant was not entitled to relief based merely on the

be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH
CIR. R. 47.5.4.

qualify as a federal drug trafficking offense. See Teran-Salas, 767 F.3d at 458.
Chavez-Perez has not demonstrated “a realistic probability that Texas would
prosecute under an ‘administering’ theory in a way that does not also
constitute either ‘dispensing’ or ‘distributing’ under the federal sentencing
guidelines.” Id. at 461-62. Accordingly, the Government’s motion for summary
affirmance is GRANTED, the alternative motion for an extension of time to file
a brief is DENIED, and the judgment of the district court is AFFIRMED.
