                   Appeal from the United States District Court
                        for the Southern District of Texas
                             USDC No. 1:14-CR-872-1


Before JONES, CLEMENT, and OWEN, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM: *
       Appealing the judgment in a criminal case, Derrick Hargrove raises an
argument that is foreclosed by United States v. Betancourt, 

, 308-
09 (5th Cir. 2009), which held that knowledge of drug type and quantity is not
an element of a 21 U.S.C. § 841 offense. Nor is knowledge of drug type and
quantity an element of an offense under either 21 U.S.C. § 952(a) or 21 U.S.C.
§ 960(a). See United States v. Valencia-Gonzales, 

, 345-46 (5th


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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not
be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH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

Cir. 1999); United States v. Restrepo-Granda, 

, 527 (5th Cir. 1978).
Accordingly, the motion for summary disposition is GRANTED, and the
judgment of the district court is AFFIRMED.
