Head Matter:
UNITED STATES of America, Appellee, v. Francisco BELTRAN-HERNANDEZ, also known as El Gordo, Appellant.
No. 03-1953.
United States Court of Appeals, Eighth Circuit.
Submitted May 23, 2005.
Decided Aug. 8, 2005.
Thomas J. Kangior, Omaha, NE, for Appellee.
Francisco Beltran-Hernandez, Lompoc, CA, pro se.
Before BYE, HEANEY, and SMITH, Circuit Judges.

Opinion:
PER CURIAM.
Pursuant to the order of the United States Supreme Court in Beltran-Hernandez v. U.S., — U.S.-, 125 S.Ct. 1053, 160 L.Ed.2d 1043 (2005), vacating our judgment and remanding this case, we review for error under United States v. Booker, — U.S.-, 125 S.Ct. 738, 160 L.Ed.2d 621 (2005). Because BeltranHernandez failed to raise a Booker-type issue below, we apply the plain error standard under United States v. Pirani, 406 F.3d 543, 549 (8th Cir.2005), and finding none, we reaffirm our prior opinion with regard to Beltran-Hernandez.
