Before HIGGINBOTHAM, WIENER, and PRADO, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

     Appealing the Judgment in a Criminal Case, Johnny

S. Estrada, Jr., raises arguments that are foreclosed by United

States v. Gamez-Gonzalez, 
319 F.3d 695
, 699-700 (5th Cir. 2003),

which held that knowledge of the drug type is not a material

element of the offense under 21 U.S.C. § 841, and by United

States v. Valencia-Gonzales, 
172 F.3d 344
, 345-46 (5th Cir.

1999), which held that the defendant may be sentenced under the

guidelines according to the drug he was carrying rather than the

drug he believed he was carrying.   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this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except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. 05-50243
                               -2-

summary affirmance is GRANTED, and the judgment of the district

court is AFFIRMED.
