Before BARKSDALE, DeMOSS, and PRADO, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

     Appealing the Judgment in a Criminal Case, Abraham Garcia-

Franco raises arguments that are foreclosed by United States v.

Aguirre-Villa, 

, 683 (5th Cir. 2006), which held that

the district court’s refusal to factor in, when sentencing a

defendant, the sentencing disparity caused by early disposition

programs does not render a sentence unreasonable, and by

Almendarez-Torres v. United States, 

, 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this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except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. 06-10454
                               -2-

summary affirmance is GRANTED, and the judgment of the district

court is AFFIRMED.
