             Appeal from the United States District Court
                   for the Western District of Texas
                       USDC No. 3:04-CR-597-1-PRM
                          --------------------

Before KING, Chief Judge, and DeMOSS and CLEMENT, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

     Appealing the Judgment in a Criminal Case, Lisa Moya raises

arguments that are foreclosed by Almendarez-Torres v. United

States, 523 U.S. 224, 235 (1998), which held that a prior

conviction is a sentencing factor under 8 U.S.C. § 1326(b)(2) and

not a separate criminal offense.    The Government’s motion for

summary affirmance 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this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except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.
