v.

AUDEL ACOSTA-LARIOS,

                                                   Defendant-Appellant

                   Appeal from the United States District Court
                        for the Southern District of Texas
                             USDC No. 4:08-CR-100-1

Before HIGGINBOTHAM, DAVIS, and CLEMENT, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
       Appealing the judgment in a criminal case, Audel Acosta-Larios
raises arguments that are foreclosed by United States v. Lopez-Ortiz, 313 F.3d
225, 229-31 (5th Cir. 2002), which held that an immigration judge’s failure to
inform an alien of his eligibility for discretionary waiver of removal at his
removal proceeding did not render the proceeding fundamentally unfair. See
Romero-Rodriguez v. Gonzales, 488 F.3d 672, 677 n.5 (5th Cir. 2007). 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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not
be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR .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.
