  UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,

        Plaintiff - Appellee,

  v.                                                         No. 22-6093
                                                     (D.C. No. 5:20-CR-00154-G-1)
  DOMINIC DAMOND UHEGWU,                                     (W.D. Okla.)

        Defendant - Appellant.
                       _________________________________

                              ORDER AND JUDGMENT*
                          _________________________________

 Before MATHESON, KELLY, and PHILLIPS, Circuit Judges.**
                   _________________________________

       This matter is before the court on the United States’ motion for summary

 affirmance, based on this court’s recent decision in United States v. Harbin, 56 F.4th

 843 (10th Cir. 2022). In response, Defendant-Appellant Dominic Damond Uhegwu

 does not dispute that Harbin controls the outcome of this appeal and does not object

 to the government’s motion. We further note that Mr. Uhegwu makes an additional

 argument for preservation purposes only, that we should overrule United States v.

       *
          This order and judgment is not binding precedent, except under the doctrines
 of law of the case, res judicata, and collateral estoppel. It may be cited, however, for
 its persuasive value consistent with Fed. R. App. P. 32.1 and 10th Cir. R. 32.1.
        **
           After examining the briefs and appellate record, this panel has determined
 unanimously that oral argument would not materially assist in the determination of
 this appeal. See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a)(2); 10th Cir. R. 34.1(G). The case is therefore
 ordered submitted without oral argument.

 Jones, 15 F.4th 1288 (10th Cir. 2021). This argument also must be rejected. United

 States v. Manzanares, 956 F.3d 1220, 1225 (10th Cir. 2020).

       In light of the foregoing, the motion for summary affirmance is GRANTED

 and the judgment of the district court is AFFIRMED.
