IN THE UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS

FOR THE FIFTH CIRCUIT

No. 15-41691

Conference Calendar

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,

Plaintiff-Appellee

v.

NORA RODRIGUEZ-GONZALEZ,

Defendant-Appellant

Appeal from the United States District Court

for the Southern District of Texas

USDC No. 1:15-CR-546-1

Before JONES, CLEMENT, and OWEN, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

Appealing the judgment in a criminal case, Nora Rodriguez-Gonzalez

raises an argument that is foreclosed by United States v. Betancourt, 586 F.3d 

303, 308-09 (5th Cir. 2009), which held that knowledge of drug type and 

quantity is not an element of a 21 U.S.C. § 841 offense. Accordingly, the motion 

for summary disposition 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.
