v.

ALFREDO REYES-DELGADO, also known as Alfredo Delgado-Reyes

                                           Defendant-Appellant


                 Appeal from the United States District Court
                      for the Western District of Texas
                        USDC No. 3:06-CR-1790-ALL


Before DeMOSS, DENNIS, and OWEN, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
      Appealing the Judgment in a Criminal Case, Alfredo Reyes-Delgado 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. See United States v. Pineda-Arrellano, 492 F.3d
624, 625 (5th Cir. 2007). 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should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited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.
