                                                 Defendant-Appellant


                   Appeal from the United States District Court
                        for the Western District of Texas
                             USDC No. 1:13-CR-471-1


Before DAVIS, JONES, and HIGGINSON, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM: *
       Appealing the judgment in a criminal case, Henry Alexander Calix raises
arguments that are foreclosed by United States v. Teran-Salas, 
767 F.3d 453
,
458-62 (5th Cir. 2014), cert. denied, 
135 S. Ct. 1892
(2015). In Teran-Salas, we



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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not
be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH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

                                 No. 14-50176

determined that the appellant was not entitled to relief based merely on the
existence of a theoretical possibility that the defendant could be convicted
under Texas Health & Safety Code § 481.112(a) for conduct that would not
qualify as a federal drug trafficking offense. See 
Teran-Salas, 767 F.3d at 458
.
Calix has not demonstrated “a realistic probability that Texas would prosecute
under an ‘administering’ theory in a way that does not also constitute either
‘dispensing’ or ‘distributing’ under the federal sentencing guidelines.” 
Id. at 461-62.
Accordingly, the Government’s 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.
