          Appeal from the United States District Court
                for the Western District of Texas
                   USDC No. 5:04-CR-318-ALL-DB
                       --------------------

Before JOLLY, JONES, and WIENER, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

     Appealing the Judgment in a Criminal Case, Noe Macias-Ortiz

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that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent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.
