    Appeal from the United States District Court
    for the Southern District of Texas
    USDC No. 5:04-CR-2462-ALL
    --------------------
    Before JONES, Chief Judge, and SMITH and STEWART, Circuit Judges.
    PER CURIAM:*
    Appealing the Judgment in a Criminal Case, Juan Americo
    Romero-Portillo 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    this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except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.
