JUAN ROBERTO CABALLERO-ESCAMILLA,

                                                  Defendant-Appellant


                   Appeal from the United States District Court
                        for the Southern District of Texas
                             USDC No. 1:12-CR-202-1


Before JONES, OWEN, and GRAVES, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
       Appealing the judgment in a criminal case, Juan Roberto Caballero-
Escamilla raises an argument that he concedes is foreclosed by United States v.
Betancourt, 
586 F.3d 303
, 308-09 (5th Cir. 2009), which held that knowledge of
drug type and quantity is not an element of the offense under 21 U.S.C. § 841.
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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not
be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR.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.
