MARCELO GARRIDO-REYES, also known as Marcelo G. Reyes,

                                                 Defendant-Appellant

                   Appeal from the United States District Court
                        for the Southern District of Texas
                             USDC No. 5:14-CR-439-1

Before JOLLY, GRAVES, and COSTA, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM: *
       Appealing the judgment in a criminal case, Marcelo Garrido-Reyes raises
an argument that is foreclosed by United States v. Martinez-Lugo, 782 F.3d
198, 204-05 (5th Cir. 2015), petition for cert. filed (June 19, 2015) (No. 14-
10355). In Martinez-Lugo, 782 F.3d at 204-05, we held that an enhancement
pursuant to U.S.S.G. § 2L1.2(b)(1)(A)(i) for a prior conviction of a drug

       * 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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not
be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH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.
    Case: 14-41244     Document: 00513158819    Page: 2   Date Filed: 08/18/2015

                                 No. 14-41244

trafficking offense is warranted regardless whether the conviction for the prior
offense required proof of remuneration or commercial activity.
      Garrido-Reyes also raises an argument that is foreclosed by United
States v. Rodriguez-Escareno, 700 F.3d 751, 753-54 (5th Cir. 2012), which held
that an enhancement pursuant to § 2L1.2(b)(1)(A)(i) applies to a prior
conviction for the federal crime of conspiracy to commit a federal drug
trafficking offense.
      The motion for summary affirmance is GRANTED, the alternative
motion for an extension of time to file a brief is DENIED, and the judgment of
the district court is AFFIRMED.
