    Appeal from the United States District Court
    for the Western District of Texas
    USDC No. 2:05-CR-696-ALL
    --------------------
    Before REAVLEY, STEWART, and CLEMENT, Circuit Judges.
    PER CURIAM:*
    Appealing the Judgment in a Criminal Case, Jose Mercedes
    Sanchez-Gomez 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    this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except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.
