          Appeal from the United States District Court
               for the Southern District of Texas
                     USDC No. 2:04-CR-713-1
                      --------------------

Before JONES, Chief Judge, and SMITH and STEWART, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

     Appealing the Judgment in a Criminal Case, Juan Manuel

Gonzalez-Castillo raises arguments that are foreclosed by Dixon

v. United States, 

, 2442-48 (2006), which held

that the district court’s jury instruction placing the burden on

the defendant to establish the defense of duress by preponderance

of the evidence did not violate the Due Process Clause.       The

Government’s motion for summary affirmance 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this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except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.
