UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,
Plaintiff-Appellee,
versus
LUIS CLEMENTE OLMEDO, true name Gabriel Patricio Contreras,
Defendant-Appellant.
--------------------
Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Southern District of Texas
USDC No. 5:04-CR-1729-ALL
--------------------
Before HIGGINBOTHAM, BENAVIDES, and DENNIS, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Luis Clemente Olmedo (Clemente) appeals his guilty-plea
conviction and sentence for being illegally present in the United
States following removal. Clemente’s constitutional challenge is
foreclosed by Almendarez-Torres v. United States,
523 U.S. 224,
235 (1998). Although Clemente contends that Almendarez-Torres
was incorrectly decided and that a majority of the Supreme Court
would overrule Almendarez-Torres in light of Apprendi v. New
Jersey,
530 U.S. 466 (2000), we have repeatedly rejected such
*
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this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except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. 05-40800

arguments on the basis that Almendarez-Torres remains binding.
See United States v. Garza-Lopez,
410 F.3d 268, 276 (5th Cir.),
cert. denied,
126 S. Ct. 298 (2005). Clemente properly concedes
that his argument is foreclosed in light of Almendarez-Torres and
circuit precedent, but he raises it here to preserve it for
further review.
Clemente correctly asserts that the written judgment does
not reflect the district court’s oral pronouncement that his
sentence is to run concurrently with the sentence he received for
the revocation of supervised release. Any error, however, is
harmless because the written judgment in the revocation of
supervised release case states that the sentence from that case
is to run concurrently with the sentence imposed in this case.
See United States v. Akpan,
407 F.3d 360, 376-77 (5th Cir. 2005)
(mistake that does not prejudice defendant is harmless).
AFFIRMED.
