v.

JORGE ARTURO ESPINOZA-SARAVIA

                                         Defendant-Appellant


                Appeal from the United States District Court
                     for the Western District of Texas
                       USDC No. 3:06-CR-1439-ALL


Before DENNIS, CLEMENT, and PRADO, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
     Appealing the Judgment in a Criminal Case, Jorge Arturo Espinoza-
Saravia raises arguments that are foreclosed 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 summary affirmance is GRANTED, and the judgment of the district court is
AFFIRMED.



     *
      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should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited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.
