                     Appeal from the United States District Court
                         for the Northern District of Texas
                              USDC No. 4:15-CR-174-1
                     ______________________________

   Before Elrod, Oldham, and Wilson, Circuit Judges.
   Per Curiam: *
         In 2016, Kyston Ivory pleaded guilty to bank robbery and was
   sentenced to 80 months of imprisonment, followed by a three-year term of
   supervised release. His term of supervision was revoked, and he was
   sentenced to 10 months of imprisonment, followed by an additional one-year
   term of supervised release.

Case: 23-10545       Document: 00516999009         Page: 2   Date Filed: 12/12/2023

                                    No. 23-10545

           Relying on United States v. Haymond, 139 S. Ct. 2369 (2019), Ivory
   now contends that 18 U.S.C. § 3583(g) is unconstitutional because it requires
   revocation of a term of supervised release and imposition of a term of
   imprisonment without affording the defendant the constitutionally
   guaranteed right to a jury trial. He concedes that his challenge is foreclosed
   by United States v. Garner, 969 F.3d 550 (5th Cir. 2020), and raises the issue
   to preserve it for further review. The Government has filed an unopposed
   motion for summary affirmance or, alternatively, for an extension of time to
   file its brief.
           In Garner, this court rejected the argument that Ivory has advanced
   and held that § 3583(g) is not unconstitutional under Haymond. See Garner,
   969 F.3d at 551-53. The parties are thus correct that the issue is foreclosed,
   and the Government is correct that summary affirmance is appropriate. See
   Groendyke Transp., Inc. v. Davis, 406 F.2d 1158, 1162 (5th Cir. 1969).
   Accordingly, the Government’s motion for summary affirmance is
   GRANTED, the district court’s judgment is AFFIRMED, and the
   Government’s alternative motion for an extension of time to file a brief is
   DENIED.
