                         USDC No. 3:07-CR-198-ALL


Before JOLLY, HIGGINBOTHAM, and PRADO, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
      Appealing the Judgment in a Criminal Case, Fernando Camacho-Falcon
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.                United States v.
Pineda-Arrellano, 

, 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should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited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.
