Before REAVLEY, JOLLY, and BENAVIDES, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

     Appealing the Judgment in a Criminal Case, Jacobo Zarember-

Castanon raises arguments that are foreclosed by United States v.

Santiesteban-Hernandez, 
469 F.3d 376
, 381 (5th Cir. 2006), which

held that a Texas robbery conviction qualified as 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this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except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. 05-41803
                                -2-

offense.   The Government’s motion for summary affirmance is

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