    Clerk
    UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,
    Plaintiff-Appellee
    v.
    CONSTANTINO LOPEZ-LEON,
    Defendant-Appellant
    Appeal from the United States District Court
    for the Southern District of Texas
    USDC No. 1:08-CR-832-ALL
    Before JONES, Chief Judge, and JOLLY and ELROD, Circuit Judges.
    PER CURIAM:*
    Appealing the judgment in a criminal case, Constantino Lopez-Leon
    presents arguments that he concedes are foreclosed by United States v. Cepeda-
    Rios, 
    530 F.3d 333
    , 335-36 (5th Cir. 2008), which held that even after Lopez v.
    Gonzales, 
    549 U.S. 47
     (2006), a second state conviction for simple possession of
    a controlled substance qualifies as an aggravated felony that supports the
    imposition of an eight-level enhancement under United States Sentencing
    *
    Pursuant to 5 TH C IR. 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    should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited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 5 TH C IR. R. 47.5.4.
    No. 08-41257
    Guideline § 2L1.2(b)(1)(C). The appellant’s motion for summary disposition is
    GRANTED, and the judgment of the district court is AFFIRMED.
