Before KING, BARKSDALE, and DENNIS, Circuit Judges.

     Appealing the Judgment in a Criminal Case, Angel Frere-Gomez raises
arguments that are foreclosed by Almendarez-Torres v. United States, 523 U.S.

(holding that constitutional challenges to 21 U.S.C. § 851 are foreclosed by
Almendarez-Torres). 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should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited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.
