UNITED STATES of America, Plaintiff-Appellee, v. Hugo Roman ALMENDAREZ-TORRES, Defendant-Appellant.
    No. 96-10254
    Conference Calendar.
    United States Court of Appeals, Fifth Circuit.
    Aug. 22, 1996.
    John Preston Bradford, Assistant U.S. Attorney, Dallas, TX, for Plaintiff-Appellee.
    Peter Michael Fleury, Federal Public Defender’s Office, Fort Worth, TX, for Defendant-Appellant.
    Before KING, DUHÉ and DeMOSS, Circuit Judges.
   PER CURIAM:

Hugo Roman Almendarez-Torres appeals his judgment of conviction and sentence after pleading guilty to reentry after deportation in violation of 8 U.S.C. § 1326. He argues that he was charged with and pleaded guilty to § 1326(a), simple reentry, but that he was sentenced as if he had pleaded guilty to reentry following a conviction for an aggravated felony for purposes of § 1326(b)(2). His argument is foreclosed by this court’s opinion in United States v. Vasquez-Olvera, 999 F.2d 943 (5th Cir.1993), cert. denied, 510 U.S. 1076, 114 S.Ct. 889, 127 L.Ed.2d 82 (1994).

AFFIRMED.
