                   Appeal from the United States District Court
                        for the Northern District of Texas
                             USDC No. 1:99-CR-54-2

Before JONES, Chief Judge, and JOLLY and ELROD, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
       Appealing the judgment in a criminal case, Eric Lamar Grooms raises
arguments that are foreclosed by United States v. Hinson, 429 F.3d 114, 119 (5th
Cir. 2005), which held that a defendant is not entitled to a jury trial to determine
whether the terms of supervised release have been violated. 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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not
be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR .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.
