Before JOLLY, HIGGINBOTHAM, and PRADO, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
      Appealing the Judgment in a Criminal Case, Fidel Torres-Antillon 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. United States v. Pineda-Arrellano, 
492 F.3d 624
,
625 (5th Cir. 2007), petition for cert. filed (Aug. 28, 2007) (No. 07-6202). 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should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited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.
