UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,

                                    Plaintiff-Appellee,

versus

PANCHA SADUSEDO-GONSALES, also known as Elisa Garcia-Cruz,

                                    Defendant-Appellant.

                         --------------------
            Appeal from the United States District Court
                  for the Western District of Texas
                        USDC No. 2:05-CR-1012
                         --------------------

Before SMITH, BENAVIDES, and DENNIS, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

     Appealing the Judgment in a Criminal Case, Pancha Sadusedo-

Gonsales (Sadusedo) preserves for further review his contention

that his sentence is unreasonable because this court’s post-

Booker** rulings have effectively reinstated the mandatory

Sentencing Guideline regime condemned in Booker.   Sadusedo

concedes that his argument is foreclosed by United States v.

Mares, 
402 F.3d 511
(5th Cir. 2005), and its progeny, which have

outlined this court’s methodology for reviewing sentences 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this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except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.
     **
          United States v. Booker, 
543 U.S. 220
(2005).
                           No. 06-50927
                                -2-

reasonableness.   Sadusedo also raises arguments that are

foreclosed 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 summary affirmance is GRANTED, and the judgment of the

district court is AFFIRMED.
