            Appeal from the United States District Court
                 for the Southern District of Texas
                       USDC No. 7:06-CR-529-ALL
                         --------------------

Before SMITH, BENAVIDES, and DENNIS, Circuit Judges.

PER CURIAM:*

     Appealing the Judgment in a Criminal Case, Tito Alberto

Cisneros raises arguments that are foreclosed by Almendarez-

Torres v. United States, 

, 235 (1998), which held

that 8 U.S.C. § 1326(b)(2) is a penalty provision and not a

separate criminal 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this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except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.
