                   Appeal from the United States District Court
                        for the Northern District of Texas
                             USDC No. 2:14-CR-96-1


Before DAVIS, SMITH, and PRADO, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM: *

an argument that is foreclosed by United States v. Tuma,

CIR. R. 47.5.4.

Tuma, 738 F.3d at 693
. The motion for summary affirmance is GRANTED, the alternative
request for an extension of time is DENIED, and the judgment of the district
court is AFFIRMED.
