    Appeal from the United States District Court
    for the Northern District of Texas
    USDC No. 1:05-CR-63-ALL
    --------------------
    Before DAVIS, BARKSDALE, and DeMOSS, Circuit Judges.
    PER CURIAM:*
    Appealing the Judgment in a Criminal Case, Christian Alfonso
    Quintanilla raises arguments that are foreclosed by Almendarez-
    Torres v. United States, 
    523 U.S. 224
    , 235 (1998), which held
    that 8 U.S.C. § 1326(b)(2) is a penalty provision 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    that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent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.
