    Appeal from the United States District Court
    for the Southern District of Texas
    USDC No. 7:13-CR-238-1
    Before HIGGINBOTHAM, DENNIS, and HIGGINSON, Circuit Judges.
    PER CURIAM: *
    Appealing the judgment in a criminal case, Cesar Cuevas-Medina raises
    an argument that he concedes is foreclosed by United States v. Betancourt, 
    586 F.3d 303
    , 308-09 (5th Cir. 2009), which held that knowledge of drug type and
    quantity is not an element of a 
    21 U.S.C. § 841
     offense. Nor is knowledge of
    drug type and quantity an element of an offense under 
    21 U.S.C. § 952
    (a) or 
    21 U.S.C. § 960
    (a). See United States v. Valencia-Gonzales, 
    172 F.3d 344
    , 345-46
    * 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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not
    be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH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.
    Case: 14-41411   Document: 00513241817     Page: 2   Date Filed: 10/22/2015

    575 F.2d 524
    , 527 (5th Cir.
    1978). The unopposed motion for summary disposition is GRANTED, and the
    judgment of the district court is AFFIRMED.
