                   Appeal from the United States District Court
                        for the Southern District of Texas
                             USDC No. 5:12-CR-99-1

Before JOLLY, DENNIS, and PRADO, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
       Appealing the judgment in a criminal case, Manuel Trujillo-Morales raises
arguments that he concedes are foreclosed by United States v. Newson, 515 F.3d
374, 377-78 (5th Cir. 2008), which held that the Government may decline to
move for an additional one-point reduction under United States Sentencing
Guideline § 3E1.1(b) based on the defendant’s refusal to waive his right to
appeal. 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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not
be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR.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.
