LEONARDO OLGUIN-CARDENAS,

                                                 Defendant-Appellant


                   Appeal from the United States District Court
                        for the Southern District of Texas
                            USDC No. 7:14-CR-1259-1


Before REAVLEY, ELROD, and HAYNES, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM: *
       Appealing the judgment in a criminal case, Leonardo Olguin-Cardenas
raises an argument that is foreclosed by United States v. Martinez-Lugo, 
782 F.3d 198
, 204-05 (5th Cir.), cert. denied, 
136 S. Ct. 533
(2015). In Martinez-
Lugo, 782 F.3d at 204-05
, we held that an enhancement under U.S.S.G.
§ 2L1.2(b)(1)(A)(i) for a prior felony conviction for a drug trafficking offense is




       * 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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not
be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH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.
    Case: 15-40686    Document: 00513471898     Page: 2   Date Filed: 04/20/2016


                                 No. 15-40686

warranted regardless whether the conviction for the prior offense required
proof of remuneration or commercial activity.
      He also raises an argument that is foreclosed by United States v.
Rodriguez-Escareno, 
700 F.3d 751
, 753-54 (5th Cir. 2012), which held that a
federal conviction for conspiracy to commit a drug trafficking offense qualifies
for the § 2L1.2(b)(1)(A)(i) enhancement.
      Accordingly, the Government’s motion for summary affirmance is
GRANTED, the alternative motion for an extension of time to file a brief is
DENIED, and the judgment of the district court is AFFIRMED.
