                   Appeal from the United States District Court
                        for the Eastern District of Texas
                             USDC No. 4:11-CR-97-1

Before HIGGINBOTHAM, SMITH, and GRAVES, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
       Appealing the judgment in a criminal case, Julian Hernandez Avelino
raises an argument that he concedes is foreclosed by United States v. Newson,
515 F.3d 374, 378-79 (5th Cir. 2008), which held that the Government may
decline to move for an additional one-point reduction under U.S.S.G. § 3E1.1(b)
based on the defendant’s refusal to waive his right to appeal. 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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not
be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR.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.
