                   Appeal from the United States District Court
                        for the Northern District of Texas
                             USDC No. 3:11-CR-293-1

Before KING, CLEMENT, and HAYNES, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
       Appealing the judgment in a criminal case, Jose Arriaga-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 district court may not award an
additional one-level reduction under U.S. Sentencing Guidelines Manual
§ 3E1.1(b) absent a motion from the Government and that the Government may
decline to move for the reduction based on the defendant’s refusal to waive his
right to appeal. Accordingly, the Government’s motion for summary affirmance

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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not
be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR.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