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-

offense is warranted regardless whether the conviction for the prior offense 

required proof of remuneration or commercial activity. 

Gomez-Guerrero 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.

Accordingly, 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.
