                   Appeal from the United States District Court

                             USDC No. 3:14-CR-136-1

Before REAVLEY, SMITH, and GRAVES, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM: *
       Appealing the judgment in a criminal case, Jose Otilio Villaman-Mendez
raises an argument that he concedes is foreclosed by Almendarez-Torres v.
United States, 523 U.S. 224, 228, 231-35 (1998), in which the Supreme Court
determined that convictions used to enhance a sentence under 8 U.S.C.
§ 1326(b) need not be set forth in the indictment.                     Accordingly, the
Government’s motion for summary affirmance is GRANTED, its alternative

       * 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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not
be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH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.
