Opinion:
PER CURIAM:
Javier Garcia-Vargas pleaded guilty to unlawful possession of an unregistered firearm and w;as sentenced to 30 months of imprisonment and two years of supervised release. Garcia-Vargas asserts that the Supreme Court's holding in Blakely v. Washington, — U.S.-, 124 S.Ct. 2531, 159 L.Ed.2d 403 (2004), should be applied to sentences determined under the federal sentencing guidelines. As Garcia-Vargas concedes, this argument is foreclosed by this court's recent opmion in United States v. Pineiro, 377 F.3d 464, 473 (5th Cir.2004), petition for cert. filed (U.S. July 14, 2004) (No. 04-5263), but he raises it to preserve it for possible further review.
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Pursuant to 5th Cir. R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5th Cir. R. 47.5.4.
