UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,

Plaintiff-Appellee

v.

PETER M. ESPINOSA,

Defendant-Appellant

Appeal from the United States District Court

for the Northern District of Texas

USDC No. 4:09-CR-80-1

Before JOLLY, STEWART, and OWEN, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:

*

Appealing the judgment in a criminal case, Peter M. Espinosa presents

arguments that he concedes are foreclosed as this court has repeatedly held that

a sentencing judge may find by a preponderance of the evidence all the facts

necessary to the determination of a sentencing guidelines range. See, e.g.,

United States v. Rhine, 583 F.3d 878, 891 (5th Cir. 2009); United States v.

Stevens, 487 F.3d 232, 245-46 (5th Cir. 2007); United States v. Johnson, 445 F.3d
