v.

GEIMAN REYES,

                                                   Defendant-Appellant

                    Appeal from the United States District Court
                         for the Southern District of Texas
                             USDC No. 1:12-CR-1019-1

Before REAVLEY, OWEN, and SOUTHWICK, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
       Appealing the judgment in a criminal case, Geiman Reyes raises an
argument that he concedes is foreclosed by United States v. Betancourt, 586
F.3d 303, 308-09 (5th Cir. 2009), which held that knowledge of drug type and
quantity is not an element of the offense under 21 U.S.C. § 841.                          The
appellant’s motion for summary disposition 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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be
published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR.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.
