IN THE UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS

FOR THE FIFTH CIRCUIT

No. 14-40832

Conference Calendar

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,

Plaintiff-Appellee

v.

ARMANDO ALONZO-SOLIS,

Defendant-Appellant

Appeal from the United States District Court

for the Southern District of Texas

USDC No. 7:14-CR-249-1

Before DAVIS, ELROD, and COSTA, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

Appealing the judgment in a criminal case, Armando Alonzo-Solis raises 

an argument that he concedes 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 the offense under 21 U.S.C. § 841. Knowledge of 

drug type and quantity also is not an element of the offense under the related 

statutes of 21 U.S.C. § 952 and § 960. United States v. Restrepo-Granda, 575 

* 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.
