               for the Western District of Texas

Before SMITH, BENAVIDES, and DENNIS, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

     Appealing the Judgment in a Criminal Case, Miguel Angel

Maldonado-Martinez raises arguments that are foreclosed by United

States v. Slaughter, 238 F.3d 580, 582-84 (5th Cir. 2000), which

held that Apprendi v. New Jersey, 530 U.S. 466 (2000), did not

render 21 U.S.C. § 960(b) unconstitutional on its face.       The

Government’s motion for summary affirmance 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this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except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.
