                    USDC No. 7:05-CR-960-ALL
                      --------------------

Before BARKSDALE, DeMOSS, and PRADO, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

     Appealing the Judgment in a Criminal Case, Jorge Luis

Gonzalez-Garcia raises arguments that are foreclosed by United

States v. Garcia-Mendez, 
420 F.3d 454
, 457 (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

     *
       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this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except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. 06-40503
                                -2-

offense.   The Government’s motion for summary affirmance is

GRANTED, and the judgment of the district court is AFFIRMED.
