v.

GUILLERMO GOMEZ-GUERRERO,

                                                 Defendant-Appellant

                   Appeal from the United States District Court
                        for the Southern District of Texas
                             USDC No. 5:14-CR-144-1

Before JOLLY, GRAVES, and COSTA, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM: *
       Appealing the judgment in a criminal case, Guillermo Gomez-Guerrero
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
under U.S.S.G. § 2L1.2(b)(1)(A)(i) for a prior conviction of a drug trafficking

       * 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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not
be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH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: 14-40972     Document: 00513157924   Page: 2   Date Filed: 08/18/2015

                                No. 14-40972

offense is warranted regardless whether the conviction for the prior offense
required proof of remuneration or commercial activity.
      Gomez-Guerrero 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 the sentence enhancement provided for in § 2L1.2(b)(1)(A)(i) applies to a
conviction for the federal crime of conspiracy to commit a federal drug
trafficking offense.
      Accordingly, 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.
