    Case: 10-50231 Document: 00511335140 Page: 2 Date Filed: 12/29/2010

                                  No. 10-50231
                                c/w No. 10-50238

      Jose Andres Gonzalez was convicted following entry of a guilty plea to a
charge of illegal reentry following removal and was sentenced to a sentence of
18 months of imprisonment. Gonzalez’s supervised release was revoked, and he
was sentenced to serve 24 months of imprisonment. The district court ordered
the sentences to run consecutively to each other and to any future imprisonment
term imposed in a pending state case.
      Gonzalez now appeals, presenting arguments that he concedes are
foreclosed by United States v. Brown, 920 F.2d 1212, 1216-17 (5th Cir. 1991),
abrogated on other grounds by United States v. Candia, 454 F.3d 468, 472-73
(5th Cir. 2006), which held that a district court may order a term of
imprisonment to run consecutively with an unimposed state sentence.
Accordingly, the Government’s motion for summary affirmance is GRANTED,
its alternative motion for an extension of time to file a brief is DENIED, and the
judgment of the district court and order revoking supervised release and
imposing sentence are AFFIRMED.
