    Appeal from the United States District Court
    for the Western District of Texas
    USDC No. 2:03-CR-753-1-AML
    --------------------
    Before KING, Chief Judge, and DeMOSS and CLEMENT, Circuit Judges.
    PER CURIAM:*
    Appealing the Judgment in a Criminal Case, Victor Martinez-
    Perez raises arguments that are foreclosed by Almendarez-Torres
    v. United States, 
    523 U.S. 224
    , 235 (1998), which held that a
    prior conviction is a sentencing factor under 
    8 U.S.C. § 1326
    (b)(2) 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    this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except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.
