                       --------------------

Before JONES, Chief Judge, and SMITH and STEWART, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

     Appealing the Judgment in a Criminal Case, Enrique Madrid-

Marquez raises arguments that are foreclosed by United States v.

Garcia-Mendez, 
420 F.3d 454
(5th Cir. 2005), cert. denied, 
126 S. Ct. 1398
(2006), which held that a Texas conviction for

burglary of a habitation was equivalent to burglary of a dwelling

and therefore was a crime of violence under U.S.S.G. § 2L1.2, and

by Almendarez-Torres v. United States, 
523 U.S. 224
, 235 (1998),

which held that 8 U.S.C. § 1326(b)(2) is a penalty provision and

not a separate criminal offense.    The Government’s motion for

     *
       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this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except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. 06-50276
                               -2-

summary affirmance is GRANTED, and the judgment of the district

court is AFFIRMED.
