Before JONES, CLEMENT, and OWEN, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM: *
       Appealing the judgment in a criminal case, Juan Manuel Ruiz-Del Valle
raises an argument that is foreclosed by Almendarez-Torres v. United States,

sentence under 8 U.S.C. § 1326(b)(2) need not be set forth in the indictment.
Accordingly, the motion for summary affirmance is GRANTED, the alternative

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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not
be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH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