v.

NORA RODRIGUEZ-GONZALEZ,

                                                 Defendant-Appellant

                   Appeal from the United States District Court
                        for the Southern District of Texas
                             USDC No. 1:15-CR-546-1

Before JONES, CLEMENT, and OWEN, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM: *
       Appealing the judgment in a criminal case, Nora Rodriguez-Gonzalez
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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not
be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH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.
