v.

JUANA GONZALEZ-MORALES,

                                                 Defendant-Appellee

                   Appeal from the United States District Court
                        for the Western District of Texas
                             USDC No. 3:19-CR-428-1

Before CLEMENT, ELROD, and OLDHAM, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
       Appealing the district court’s dismissal of an indictment charging an
offense under 8 U.S.C. § 1326, the Government moves for summary disposition,
arguing that the dismissal was erroneous in light of our recent decision in
United States v. Pedroza-Rocha, 933 F.3d 490 (5th Cir. 2019), petition for cert.
filed (U.S. Nov. 6, 2019) (No. 19-6588). Juana Gonzalez-Morales does not
oppose the motion. We agree with the Government.

       * 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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not
be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH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.
    Case: 19-50376    Document: 00515324431    Page: 2   Date Filed: 02/27/2020

                                No. 19-50376

      Accordingly, the Government’s motion for summary disposition is
GRANTED, the Government’s alternative motion for an extension of time to
file a brief is DENIED, the district court’s order dismissing the indictment is
REVERSED, and the matter is REMANDED for further proceedings.
