                   Appeal from the United States District Court
                        for the Southern District of Texas
                             USDC No. 1:11-CR-680-1


Before SMITH, ELROD, and SOUTHWICK, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
        Appealing the judgment in a criminal case, Victor Hugo Rodriguez-Raga
raises an argument that he concedes is foreclosed by United States v. Betancourt,

, 308-09 (5th Cir. 2009), which reaffirmed the holding in United
States v. Gamez-Gonzalez, 

, 700 (5th Cir. 2003), that knowledge of
drug type and quantity is not an element of the offense. The appellant’s motion
for summary disposition 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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not
be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR.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.
