v.
SAMUEL ADAN CASTILLO-RAMIREZ,
Defendant-Appellant
Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Southern District of Texas
USDC No. 5:12-CR-547-1
Before HIGGINBOTHAM, SMITH, and GRAVES, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:*
Appealing the judgment in a criminal case, Samuel Adan Castillo-Ramirez
raises an argument that he concedes is foreclosed by United States v. Newson,
515 F.3d 374, 378-79 (5th Cir. 2008), which held that the Government may
decline to move for an additional one-point reduction under U.S.S.G. § 3E1.1(b)
based on the defendant’s refusal to waive his right to appeal. The appellant’s
motion for summary disposition 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 R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not
be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR.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.
