UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Plaintiff-Appellee, versus HUGO ROMAN ALMENDAREZ-TORRES, Defendant-Appellant.

No. 96-10254

IN THE UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FIFTH CIRCUIT

August 22, 1996

Conference Calendar; Appeal from the United States District Court for the Northern District of Texas; USDC No. 4:95-CR-124-A

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 in United States v. Vasquez-Olvera, 999 F.2d 943 (5th Cir. 1993), cert. denied, 510 U.S. 1076 (1994).

AFFIRMED.
