v.

MARTIN GARZA, JR.,

                                                 Defendant-Appellant

                   Appeal from the United States District Court
                        for the Southern District of Texas
                             USDC No. 2:17-CR-88-1

Before DAVIS, CLEMENT and COSTA, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM: *
       Martin Garza, Jr. appeals his guilty plea conviction of one count of
possession with intent to distribute a controlled substance. Garza argues that
the factual basis was insufficient to support his guilty plea conviction because
the Government failed to meet its obligation to prove that he knew the type
and quantity of drug involved in his offense. As Garza concedes, his argument
is foreclosed by United States v. Betancourt, 586 F.3d 303, 308-09 (5th Cir.

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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not
be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH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

judgment is AFFIRMED.
