    Defendant-Appellant
    Appeal from the United States District Court
    for the Southern District of Texas
    USDC No. 5:06-CR-1418-1
    Before DENNIS, CLEMENT, and PRADO, Circuit Judges.
    PER CURIAM:*
    Appealing the Judgment in a Criminal Case, Fidencio Lopez-Salazar
    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 appellant's motion for summary
    disposition 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    should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited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.
