v.

LUIS FRANCISCO IBARRA-MORADO,

                                                 Defendant-Appellant

                   Appeal from the United States District Court
                        for the Western District of Texas
                             USDC No. 4:18-CR-289-1

Before HIGGINBOTHAM, ELROD, and DUNCAN, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM: *
       Luis Francisco Ibarra-Morado argues that his 36-month, within-
guidelines sentence for illegal reentry under 8 U.S.C. § 1326(b)(1) violates his
due process rights because his sentence was enhanced based on a prior felony
conviction that was not charged in the indictment. As he correctly concedes,
his argument is foreclosed by the Supreme Court’s holding in Almendarez-
Torres v. United States, 523 U.S. 224, 239-47 (1998), and he raises the issue

       * 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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not
be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH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. 18-50741

only to preserve it for further review. See United States v. Pineda-Arrellano,
492 F.3d 624, 625 (5th Cir. 2007).
      AFFIRMED.
