UNITED STATES of America, Plaintiff-Appellee, v. Jorge SANCHEZ-CARRASCO, Defendant-Appellant.
    No. 03-50621.
    Conference Calendar.
    United States Court of Appeals, Fifth Circuit.
    Decided Dec. 17, 2004.
    Joseph H. Gay, Jr, Assistant U.S. Attorney, U.S. Attorney’s Office, Western District of Texas, San Antonio, TX, for Plaintiff-Appellee.
    Charles A. Palmer, Austin, TX, for Defendant-Appellant.
    Before KING, Chief Judge, and DeMOSS and CLEMENT, Circuit Judges.
   PER CURIAM:

Relying on Blakely v. Washington, — U.S.-, 124 S.Ct. 2531, 159 L.Ed.2d 403 (2004), Jorge Sanchez-Carrasco argues that the district court erred by imposing a sentence based on facts that were neither admitted nor found by a jury beyond reasonable doubt. The Government has moved for summary affirmance in lieu of filing an appellee’s brief because the issue is foreclosed in this circuit under United States v. Pineiro, 377 F.3d 464 (5th Cir. 2004), petition for cert. filed (U.S. July 14, 2004) (No. 04-5263). The issue is indeed foreclosed. See Pineiro, 377 F.3d at 473. Accordingly, the Government’s 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       Pursuant to 5th Cir. R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5th Cir. R. 47.5.4.
