HECTOR FELIX GARZA-GONZALEZ,

                   Appeal from the United States District Court
                        for the Southern District of Texas
                             USDC No. 7:09-CR-22-1


Before WIENER, BENAVIDES, and STEWART, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
       Appealing the judgment in a criminal case, Hector Felix Garza-Gonzalez
presents arguments that he concedes are foreclosed by United States v. Cepeda-
Rios, 530 F.3d 333, 335-36 (5th Cir. 2008), which held that even after Lopez v.
Gonzales, 549 U.S. 47 (2006), a second state conviction for simple possession of
a controlled substance qualifies as an aggravated felony that supports the
imposition of an eight-level enhancement under U.S.S.G. § 2L1.2(b)(1)(C). 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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not
be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR .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.
