Before JONES, SOUTHWICK, and COSTA, Circuit Judges.

raises an argument that is foreclosed by United States v. Tuma, 738 F.3d 681

be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH
CIR. R. 47.5.4.

sentence, including facts that raise the guidelines range, be found by a jury
beyond a reasonable doubt. Tuma, 738 F.3d at 693. The motion for summary
affirmance is GRANTED, the alternative request for an extension of time is
DENIED, and the judgment of the district court is AFFIRMED.
