Appeal from the United States District Court 

for the Western District of Texas

USDC No. 3:23-CR-1271-1

______________________________

Before Haynes, Higginson, and Douglas, Circuit Judges.

Per Curiam:*

Ivan Munoz-Favela appeals following his conviction for illegal reentry 

in violation of 8 U.S.C. § 1326(a), arguing for the first time on appeal that the 

statutory sentencing enhancement in § 1326(b) is unconstitutional. He 

concedes this argument is foreclosed by Almendarez-Torres v. United States,

No. 24-50288

523 U.S. 224 (1998), and has filed an unopposed motion for summary 

disposition. 

Because the argument is foreclosed, see United States v. Pervis, 937 

F.3d 546, 553-54 (5th Cir. 2019), summary disposition is appropriate, see

Groendyke Transp. Inc. v. Davis, 406 F.2d 1158, 1162 (5th Cir. 1969). 

Accordingly, the motion for summary disposition is GRANTED, and the 

judgment of the district court is AFFIRMED.
