v.

ALTAGRACIA GUADALUPE VARGAS,

                                                 Defendant-Appellant

                   Appeal from the United States District Court
                        for the Southern District of Texas
                              USDC No. 5:15-CR-4-1

Before REAVLEY, ELROD, and HAYNES, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM: *
       Appealing the judgment in a criminal case, Altagracia Guadalupe
Vargas raises an argument that is foreclosed by United States v. Betancourt,
586 F.3d 303, 308-09 (5th Cir. 2009), which held that knowledge of drug type
and quantity is not an element of a 21 U.S.C. § 841 offense. Accordingly, the
motion for summary disposition 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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not
be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH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.
