*1 Before KING, DUHÉ, and DeMOSS, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM: [*]

Hugo Roman Almendarez-Torres appeals his judgment of conviction and sentence after pleading guilty to reentry after deportation in violation of 8 U.S.C. § 1326. He argues that he was charged with and pleaded guilty to § 1326(a), simple reentry, but that he was sentenced as if he had pleaded guilty to reentry following a conviction for an aggravated felony for purposes of § 1326(b)(2). His argument is foreclosed by this court's opinion *2 No. 96-10254 - 2 - in United States v. Vasquez-Olvera, 999 F.2d 943 (5th Cir. 1993), cert. denied, 510 U.S. 1076 (1994).

AFFIRMED.

[*] Pursuant to Local Rule 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in Local Rule 47.5.4.
