                                     No. 17-50750
                                   c/w No. 17-50759

Before KING, SMITH, and HIGGINSON, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
      Pedro Antonio Chavez-Ochoa was convicted of one count of illegal
reentry into the United States and sentenced to serve 37 months in prison and
a three-year term of supervised release. Additionally, his supervised release
for a prior conviction was revoked, and he was sentenced to serve 24 months
in prison, to run consecutively to the 37-month sentence.
      Now, he appeals these sentences. His challenge to the reimposition of the
mandatory special assessment in connection with the revocation has been
mooted by the district court’s order striking the challenged portion of the
revocation order. Insofar as he challenges the reimposition of the special
assessment, his appeal is DISMISSED AS MOOT.
      His argument that the enhancement of his statutory minimum sentences
based upon his prior convictions that were not charged in the indictment and
proved or admitted violated his constitutional rights is, as he concedes,
foreclosed by Almendarez-Torres v. United States, 

(1998). His
sentences are AFFIRMED.




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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not
be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH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