* Pursuant to 5 TH C IR . 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that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5 TH C IR . R. 47.5.4. IN THE UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FIFTH CIRCUIT

No. 00-40664 Conference Calendar

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Plaintiff-Appellee,

versus JOSE CELESTINO-MAGDALENO, Defendant-Appellant.

- - - - - - - - - - Appeal from the United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas USDC No. L-00-CR-24-ALL

- - - - - - - - - - February 15, 2001 Before SMITH, BARKSDALE, and EMILIO M. GARZA, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM: * Jose Celestino-Magdaleno appeals from his guilty plea conviction and sentence for illegal reentry by a previouslydeported alien in violation of 8 U.S.C. § 1326(b). CelestinoMagdaleno argues that his prior felony conviction is an element of the offense which must be alleged in the indictment. Celestino-Magdaleno acknowledges that his argument is foreclosed by Almendarez-Torres v. United States , 523 U.S. 224 (1998), but he seeks to preserve the issue for possible Supreme Court review in the light of Apprendi v. New Jersey , 530 U.S. 466, 120 S. Ct.No. 00-40664 -2- 2348 (2000). The Supreme Court’s Apprendi decision did not overrule Almendarez-Torres

. See United States v. Dabeit , 231 F.3d 979, 984 (5th Cir. 2000), petition for cert. filed (U.S. Jan. 26, 2001) (No. 00-8299). Celestino-Magdaleno also argues that the indictment fails to charge an offense because it does not allege any general intent. This court’s recent decision in United States v. Guzman-Ocampo , 236 F.3d 266 (5th Cir. 2000), is dispositive. The indictment alleged every statutorily required element of 8 U.S.C. § 1326 and fairly imported that Celestino-Magdaleno’s reentry was a voluntary act in view of the allegations that he had been excluded, deported, and removed and that he was present withouthaving obtained the consent of the Attorney General. CelestinoMagdaleno failed to challenge the indictment as to his voluntariness. Consequently, under Guzman-Ocampo , the indictment was statutorily sufficient. Accordingly, his judgment of conviction is AFFIRMED.

                       HARKEN ENERGY CORPORATION ADOPTS
                            STOCKHOLDER RIGHTS PLAN

     Dallas, Texas (APRIL 7, 1998) -- Harken Energy Corporation ("Harken")
(AMEX: "HEC"), announced today that its Board of Directors adopted a Stockholder
Rights Plan in which Rights will be distributed as a dividend at the rate of one
Right for each share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Company
held by stockholders of record, as of the close of business on April 17, 1998.
The Rights will then trade in tandem with the common stock unless there is an
event which triggers the Rights Plan making them exercisable. Once becoming
exercisable, the Rights will trade separate from the common stock and may be
exchanged under the terms of the Rights Plan for preferred stock or other
securities as may be determined by the Board at that time. The Rights Plan is
designed to deter certain types of unfair takeover tactics and to prevent an
acquirer from gaining control of the Company without offering a fair price to
all of the Company's stockholders. The Rights will expire on April 6, 2008. 

     The Rights will be exercisable only if a person or group acquires 
beneficial ownership of 15% or more of the Company's common stock or commences a
tender or exchange offer to acquire a total of 15% or more of the Company's
common stock. Details of the Stockholder Rights Plan are outlined in the
Company's current report on Form 8-K filed today, as well as a letter to be
mailed to all stockholders following the record date.

     Harken's Chairman, Mikel D. Faulkner, stated, "The adoption of this
Stockholders Rights Plan is an important move in protecting the true value of
the Company for its stockholders."

*Moore & Pomeroy, F. 8. Burney, C. F. CoUerill, contra.*

Stephens, J.

In a suit upon promissory notes by a transferee of the notes, where the defendant admitted a prima facie case and assumed the burden of proving as its defense that the plaintiff purchased the notes with notice of an infirmity therein, the trial judge did not err in directing a verdict for the plaintiff upon the failure of the evidence to disclose any fact or circumstance within the knowledge of the plaintiff prior to the purchase of the notes which would put a prudent man on his guard as to any defense which the defendant might have had against the payee of the note.

*Judgment affirmed.*

*Jenkins, P. J., and Smith, J., concur.*

#### Dean *v.*Merchants and Farmers Bank.

Decided November 19, 1919.

Complaint; from Franklin superior court—Judge W. L. Hodges. March 27, 1919.

*Ferino: Barrett, W. B. Little,*for plaintiff in error.

*Linton Johnson, Worley <& Adams, James B.*Thomas, contra.

Smith, J.

1. Where one purchasing real estate has the opportunity of examining it before buying, but, instead of doing so, voluntarily relies upon the statements of the vendor-concerning its character and value, the contract will not be rescinded or set aside, or the purchase-price ot the land abated, because of the falsity of such statements, unless some fraud or artifice was practiced by the vendor to prevent such examination. This is true even though the vendee in buying the land may have acted upon the misrepresentations of the vendor or his agent. See *Tallent*v. *Crim,*19 *Ga. App.*16 (90 S. E. 742), and numerous eases there cited.

2. Under the foregoing ruling, the court did not err in striking the defendant’s plea and in thereafter directing a verdict for the plaintiff for the full amount sued for.

*Judgment affirmed.*

*Jenldns, P. J., and, Stephens,.J., concur.*
