                   Appeal from the United States District Court
                        for the Northern District of Texas
                             USDC No. 4:02-CR-55-2

Before DAVIS, STEWART, and PRADO, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
        Appealing the judgment in a criminal case, Hiram Rodriguez Martinez
raises arguments that he concedes are foreclosed by United States v. Brown, 920
F.2d 1212, 1216-17 (5th Cir. 1991), abrogated on other grounds by United States
v. Candia, 454 F.3d 468, 472-73 (5th Cir. 2006), which held that a district court
has the discretion to order under 18 U.S.C. § 3584 a federal sentence to run
consecutively to a yet-to-be-imposed state sentence. See Setser v. United States,
132 S. Ct. 1463, 1468-73 (2012).            The Government’s motion for summary

       *
         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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not
be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR.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.
