v.
TYRICE HEGWOOD, also known as Tyrece Hedgemond,
Defendant-Appellant
Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Western District of Texas
USDC No. 3:09-CR-3143-12
Before KING, JOLLY, and GRAVES, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Tyrice Hegwood presents arguments that are foreclosed by United States
v. Tickles, 661 F.3d 212, 214-15 (5th Cir. 2011), which held that the Fair
Sentencing Act of 2010 (FSA) does not apply retroactively to a defendant who is
sentenced after the effective date of the FSA but whose offense preceded the
FSA’s effective date. The Government has moved for summary affirmance, or
for an extension of time to file a brief.
*
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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not
be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR.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 of the district court is AFFIRMED. The Government’s alternative
motion for an extension of time to file a brief is DENIED.
