Before DAVIS, BARKSDALE, and DeMOSS, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

Cervantes-Rodriguez 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, and by United States v. Alonzo,

435 F.3d 551
, 554 (5th Cir. 2006), which held that a sentence

     *
        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that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent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.
                           No. 05-11080
                                -2-

reasonable.   The Government’s motion for summary affirmance is

GRANTED, and the judgment of the district court is AFFIRMED.
