   Before Smith, Higginson, and Engelhardt, Circuit Judges.
   Per Curiam: *
          Carlos Enrique Navarro-Trevino appeals following his conviction for
   illegally reentering the United States after removal. He argues that the
   statutory sentencing enhancement in 8 U.S.C. § 1326(b) is unconstitutional.
   Navarro-Trevino has filed an unopposed motion for summary disposition,
   correctly conceding that the only issue he raises is foreclosed by Almendarez-

                                    No. 23-50485

   Torres v. United States, 523 U.S. 224 (1998). See United States v. Pervis, 937
   F.3d 546, 553-54 (5th Cir. 2019). He explains that he has raised the issue to
   preserve it for possible further review.
          Accordingly, because summary disposition is appropriate, see
   Groendyke Transp., Inc. v. Davis, 406 F.2d 1158, 1162 (5th Cir. 1969),
   Navarro-Trevino’s motion is GRANTED and the district court’s judgment
   is AFFIRMED.
