Before SMITH, PRADO, and HAYNES, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
        Appealing the judgment in a criminal case, Jesus Enrique Gonzalez-
Urquiza raises arguments that are foreclosed by Almendarez-Torres v. United

sentence under 8 U.S.C. § 1326(b)(2) need not be set forth in the indictment.
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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not
be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR .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.
