Conference Calendar

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,

Plaintiff-Appellee

v.

FRANCISCO VALENCIA-VILLA,

Defendant-Appellant

Appeal from the United States District Court

for the Northern District of Texas

USDC No. 3:13-CR-407-1

Before DAVIS, SMITH, and PRADO, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

Appealing the judgment in a criminal case, Francisco Valencia-Villa

raises an argument that is foreclosed by United States v. Hernandez, 633 F.3d 

370, 374 (5th Cir. 2011), which held that a sentence within the statutory 

maximum that is based upon judicially found facts does not violate the Sixth 

Amendment. Accordingly, the motion for summary affirmance is GRANTED, 

 

* 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.
