release on an earlier conviction for illegal reentry and his eight-month
revocation sentence. See 18 U.S.C. § 3583.
Solis-Colmenero pleaded guilty pursuant to a superseding information.
He argues that because his information did not specify the prior felony
conviction that formed the basis of his sentencing enhancement, his sentence,
imposed under 8 U.S.C. § 1326(b)(1), exceeded the two-year maximum
sentence under § 1326(a) and therefore violated his due process rights. The
Government has filed an unopposed motion for summary affirmance and,
alternatively, seeks an extension of time to file its brief.
As the Government correctly argues and Solis-Colmenero correctly
concedes, the sole issue raised on appeal is foreclosed by Almendarez-Torres v.
United States,
523 U.S. 224 (1998). See United States v. Wallace,
759 F.3d 486,
497 (5th Cir. 2014); United States v. Pineda-Arrellano,
492 F.3d 624, 625–26
(5th Cir. 2007). Because the issue is foreclosed, summary affirmance is
appropriate. See Groendyke Transp., Inc. v. Davis,
406 F.2d 1158, 1162 (5th
Cir. 1969).
Solis-Colmenero’s appeal from the revocation of supervised release was
consolidated with the instant appeal. But because he has raised no argument
with respect to his revocation case, he has abandoned his appeal of the
judgment of revocation and of the revocation sentence. See Yohey v. Collins,
985 F.2d 222, 224–25 (5th Cir. 1993).
The Government’s motion for summary affirmance is GRANTED, and
the district court’s judgments are AFFIRMED. The Government’s alternative
motion for an extension of time to file its brief is DENIED.
