Opinion:
ON REMAND FROM THE SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES
PER CURIAM:
On a previous appeal, we affirmed Jose Santos Perez's gulity plea conviction and sentence for conspiracy to possess stolen mail and possession of stolen mail. United States v. Perez, 03-11226, 2004 WL 1418778 (5th Cir.22 June 2004) (unpublished). The Supreme Court granted a writ of certiorari; vacated the judgment; and remanded for further consideration in the light of United States v. Booker, — U.S. —, 125 S.Ct. 738, 160 L.Ed.2d 621 (2005). Perez v. United States, — U.S. —, 125 S.Ct. 1088, 160 L.Ed.2d 1058 (2005).
Following his appeal to our court, Perez first objected to the constitutionality of his sentence in a petition for rehearing. Absent extraordinary circumstances, we will not consider issues raised for the first time in a petition for rehearing. United States v. Hernandez-Gonzalez, 405 F.3d 260, 261 (5th Cir.2005). Perez has not asserted that he presents the requisite extraordinary circumstances.
In any event, even if we did not review for extraordinary circumstances, Perez's claims would be reviewed only for plain error. Id. at 262. Under that standard, Perez must show, inter alia, that any error affected his substantial rights. United States v. Mares, 402 F.3d 511, 520 (5th Cir.2005), petition for cert. filed, (U.S. 31 Mar. 2005) (No. 04-9517). To meet this burden, Perez must demonstrate the result of his proceeding would have likely been significantly different under an advisory, as opposed to mandatory, sentencing regime. Id. at 521. Perez admits that he cannot meet this burden. (For purposes of possible review by the Supreme Court, he maintains the Mares standard is erroneous.) Because Perez cannot show reversible plain error, he cannot show the requisite extraordinary circumstances.
Perez also contends for the first time that due process and ex post facto concerns require us to vacate and remand to district court for re-sentencing. Our court has previously rejected both of these contentions. United States v. Taylor, 409 F.3d 675, 676 (5th Cir.2005). Accordingly, we reinstate our judgment affirming Perez's conviction and sentence.
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Pursuant to 5th Cir. R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5th Cir. R. 47.5.4.
