Docket

*1 Before JOLLY, PRADO, and SOUTHWICK, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM: [*]

Appealing the judgment in a criminal case, Francisco Reyna-Vasquez raises an argument that is foreclosed by Almendarez-Torres v. United States, 523 U.S. 224, 228, 235 (1998), which held that convictions used to enhance a sentence under 8 U.S.C. § 1326(b)(2) need not be set forth in the indictment. Accordingly, the motion for summary affirmance is GRANTED, the alternative motion for an extension of time to file a brief is DENIED, and the judgment of the district court is AFFIRMED.

[*] 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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5 TH C IR .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.
