PER CURIAM: ^[*]

Jesus Ivan Aranda-Luna pleaded guilty to illegal reentry into the United States and was sentenced within the advisory guidelines range to 39 months of imprisonment and one year of supervised release. In his only argument on appeal, he asserts that because the indictment did not allege that he had a prior felony conviction, his sentence exceeded the two-year statutory maximum sentence set forth in 8 U.S.C. § 1326(a) and violated his due process rights. He *2 Case: 17-10071 Document: 00514178627 Page: 2 Date Filed: 10/02/2017

No. 17-10071

concedes that his argument is foreclosed by Almendarez-Torres v. United States , 523 U.S. 224 (1998), but states that he seeks to preserve it for possible future review because recent decisions indicate that the Supreme Court may reconsider the issue. See Alleyne v. United States , 133 S. Ct. 2151 (2013).

The Government has filed a motion for summary affirmance, or alternatively, for an extension of time to file a brief. Summary affirmance is proper when, among other instances, “the position of one of the parties is clearly right as a matter of law so that there can be no substantial question as to the outcome of the case.” Groendyke Transp., Inc. v. Davis , 406 F.2d 1158, 1162-63 (5th Cir. 1969).

As Aranda-Luna concedes, his due process argument is foreclosed by Almendarez-Torres . The Supreme Court’s subsequent decisions in Apprendi v. New Jersey , 530 U.S. 466 (2000), and Alleyne did not overrule Almendarez- Torres . See United States v. Juarez-Duarte , 513 F.3d 204, 211 (5th Cir. 2008); United States v. Wallace , 759 F.3d 486, 497 (5th Cir. 2014). Accordingly, the Government’s motion for summary affirmance is GRANTED, and the judgment is AFFIRMED. The Government’s alternative motion for an extension of time to file a brief is DENIED.
