FERNANDO CASTILLO-QUINTANILLA,
Defendant-Appellant
Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Southern District of Texas
USDC No. 5:18-CR-12-1
Before KING, SOUTHWICK and ENGELHARDT, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM: *
Fernando Castillo-Quintanilla appeals his guilty plea convictions for
possession with intent to distribute and conspiracy to possess with intent to
distribute 50 grams or more of methamphetamine and 500 grams or more of a
mixture or substance containing a detectable amount of methamphetamine in
violation of 21 U.S.C. §§ 841(a)(1), (b)(1)(A), and 846. Castillo-Quintanilla,

appeal. He argues that the factual basis supporting his guilty plea is
insufficient because it fails to establish that he knew the type and quantity of
the drug involved in the offenses. He correctly concedes that his argument,
which he raises the first time on appeal, is foreclosed by United States v.
Betancourt,
586 F.3d 303, 308-09 (5th Cir. 2009). He raises the argument
solely to preserve it for possible further review.
As the sole argument raised on appeal is foreclosed, Castillo-
Quintanilla’s unopposed motion for summary disposition is GRANTED, and
the district court’s judgment is AFFIRMED. See Groendyke Transp., Inc. v.
Davis,
406 F.2d 1158, 1162 (5th Cir. 1969).
