Before REAVLEY, BENAVIDES, and ELROD, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
     Appealing the Judgment in a Criminal Case, Victor H. Gonzalez raises
arguments that are foreclosed by Almendarez-Torres v. United States,

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should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited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