                        for the Northern District of Texas
                             USDC No. 5:14-CR-124-1

Before JONES, SOUTHWICK, and COSTA, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM: *
       Appealing the judgment in a criminal case, Jose Luis Perez-Ayala raises
an argument that is foreclosed by United States v. Tuma, 738 F.3d 681 (5th

be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH
CIR. R. 47.5.4.

including facts that raise the guidelines range, be found by a jury beyond a
reasonable doubt. Tuma, 738 F.3d at 693. The motion for summary affirmance
is GRANTED, the alternative request for an extension of time is DENIED, and
the judgment of the district court is AFFIRMED.
