   Before Smith, Higginson, and Engelhardt, Circuit Judges.
   Per Curiam: *
         Following his 2020 guilty plea conviction for possession of firearms by
   a convicted felon, Johnny Wayne Marshall, Jr., was sentenced to 27 months
   of imprisonment and a two-year term of supervised release. After his
   supervised release term was revoked in 2021, Marshall received a 10-month
   prison term and 12 months of supervised release.                   After this second

Case: 23-10677       Document: 00516998881           Page: 2     Date Filed: 12/12/2023

                                      No. 23-10677

   supervised release term was revoked in 2023, Marshall received a 12-month
   prison term but no further supervised release.
          In the instant appeal, Marshall challenges the 2023 revocation.
   Relying on United States v. Haymond, 139 S. Ct. 2369 (2019), Marshall argues
   that 18 U.S.C. § 3583(g) is unconstitutional because it requires revocation of
   supervised release and imposition of a prison term based on facts that need
   not be proved to a jury beyond a reasonable doubt. Marshall concedes that
   his argument is foreclosed by United States v. Garner, 969 F.3d 550, 551-53
   (5th Cir. 2020), which held that § 3583(g) is not unconstitutional under
   Haymond. He raises the issue to preserve it for further review. Citing Garner,
   the Government has filed an unopposed motion for summary affirmance or,
   in the alternative, for an extension of time to file its brief.
          The parties are correct that Garner forecloses this issue; therefore,
   summary affirmance is appropriate. See Groendyke Transp., Inc. v. Davis, 406
   F.2d 1158, 1162 (5th Cir. 1969). Accordingly, the Government’s motion for
   summary affirmance is GRANTED, its alternative motion for an extension
   of time is DENIED, and the judgment of the district court is AFFIRMED.
