Opinion:
PER CURIAM:
Appealing the judgment in a criminal case, Marco Antonio Garcia-Echaverria raises arguments that are foreclosed by United States v. Lopez-Ortiz, 313 F.3d 225, 229-31 (5th Cir.2002), which held that an immigration judge's failure to inform an alien of his eligibility for discretionary waiver of removal at his removal proceed ing did not render the proceeding fundamentally unfair. See Romero-Rodriguez v. Gonzales, 488 F.3d 672, 677 n. 5 (5th Cir.2007). The Government's motion for summary affirmance 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Pursuant to 5th Cir. R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5th Cir. R. 47.5.4.
