USDC No. 5:14-CR-376-1

Before JOLLY, GRAVES, and COSTA, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

Appealing the judgment in a criminal case, Jose Luis Garcia-Guia raises 

an argument that is foreclosed by United States v. Martinez-Lugo, 782 F.3d 

198, 204-05 (5th Cir. 2015), petition for cert. filed (June 19, 2015) (No. 14-

warranted regardless whether the conviction for the prior offense required 

proof of remuneration or commercial activity.

Garcia-Guia also raises an argument that is foreclosed by United States 

v. Rodriguez-Escareno, 700 F.3d 751, 753-54 (5th Cir. 2012), which held that 

the sentence enhancement provided for in § 2L1.2(b)(1)(A)(i) applies to a 

conviction for the federal crime of conspiracy to commit a federal drug

trafficking offense.

The motion for summary affirmance is GRANTED, the alternative 

motion for an extension of time to file a brief is DENIED, and the judgment of 

the district court is AFFIRMED.
