Conference Calendar

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,

Plaintiff-Appellee

v.

IVAN HERNANDEZ,

Defendant-Appellant

Appeal from the United States District Court

for the Southern District of Texas

USDC No. 7:14-CR-489-1

Before HIGGINBOTHAM, DENNIS, and HIGGINSON, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

Appealing the judgment in a criminal case, Ivan Hernandez raises an 

argument that is foreclosed by United States v. Betancourt, 586 F.3d 303, 307-

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.
