UNITED STATES of America, Plaintiff-Appellee, v. Jose Humberto CAMPA-FAVELA, also known as Carlos Fabela-DeLeon, Defendant-Appellant.
    No. 05-51531
    Summary Calendar.
    United States Court of Appeals, Fifth Circuit.
    Sept. 20, 2006.
    Joseph H. Gay, Jr, Assistant U.S. Attorney, U.S. Attorney’s Office Western District of Texas, San Antonio, TX, for Plaintiff-Appellee.
    Before REAVLEY, STEWART, and OWEN, Circuit Judges.
   PER CURIAM:

Jose Humberto Campa-Favela appeals his sentence for illegally re-entering the United States. We affirm his sentence for the following reasons:

1. Campa-Favela did not object to the sufficiency of the evidence identifying him as the person convicted in the Iowa state case at the first sentencing hearing and therefore would have failed in his first appeal when he raised the issue in his brief. United States v. Fields, 923 F.2d 358, 360-61 (5th Cir.1991) (holding that failure to object to pre-sentence report waives argument regarding sufficiency of evidence of identity), overruled on other grounds by United States v. Lambert, 984 F.2d 658, 662 & n. 10 (5th Cir.1993) (en banc). When he did present his challenge to the sufficiency of the evidence at the re-sentencing hearing, the United States produced sufficient evidence to identify Cam-pa-Favela.

2. As Campa-Favela recognizes, his Fifth Amendment argument is foreclosed by Almendarez-Torres v. United States, 523 U.S. 224, 118 S.Ct. 1219, 140 L.Ed.2d 350 (1998).

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       Pursuant to 5th Cir. R. 47.5, the Court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5th Cir. R. 47.5.4.
