file a brief.

The Government is correct that Martinez’s challenge is foreclosed. 

See United States v. Diaz, 116 F.4th 458, 471-72 (5th Cir. 2024). The 

unopposed motion for summary affirmance is GRANTED, the alternative 

motion for an extension of time is DENIED as moot, and the judgment of 

the district court is AFFIRMED.
