                                                 Defendant-Appellant

                   Appeal from the United States District Court
                        for the Southern District of Texas
                            USDC No. 7:14-CR-1761-1

Before DAVIS, SMITH, and PRADO, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM: *
       Appealing the judgment in a criminal case, Ernesto Galvan-Mata raises
an argument that is foreclosed by Almendarez-Torres v. United States, 523 U.S.
224, 228, 235 (1998), which held that convictions used to enhance a sentence
under 8 U.S.C. § 1326(b)(2) need not be set forth in the indictment. The motion
for summary affirmance is GRANTED, the alternative motion for an extension

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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not
be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH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

                               No. 15-40872

of time to file a brief is DENIED, and the judgment of the district court is
AFFIRMED.
